Kia Sportage recalls

Known and open recall campaigns for the Kia Sportage, from EU market registers. Each source is shown on its own. Recalls apply to production windows, so check the dates against the specific car. This is advisory, not a per-VIN history.

EU Safety Gate: 10 KBA (DE): 19 RDW NL: 10.7% open

RDW NL open-recall prevalence

In the Dutch RDW register, 10.7% of the 51,650 registered Kia Sportage cars currently carry at least one open (uncompleted) recall, as of 2026-07-13. This is a true EU fleet rate, the strongest market-relevance signal on this page.

EU Safety Gate campaigns

The EU rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products. 10 logged for this model.

KBA (Germany) campaigns

Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt, the German federal vehicle authority. 19 logged. Shown separately from Safety Gate, never added together.

How this compares

Among the 60 models we publish an EU recall page for, the Kia Sportage ranks #23 by overall signal strength. Its 10 EU Safety Gate campaigns are fewer than the median of 17 for this set. Its 19 KBA campaigns are fewer than the median of 34. Its RDW open-recall share is more than the 6.6% median.

Counts across sources are not comparable to each other and are never summed: a Safety Gate alert and a KBA campaign can describe the same defect or different ones. Treat each as one advisory pointer.
