How this compares

Among the 60 models we publish an EU recall page for, the Kia Sportage ranks #16 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 5.9% 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.

Confirm the recall status of the actual car

Match the campaign’s production dates to the car, then ask the manufacturer or an authorised dealer to check its VIN and confirm whether the repair is complete. A model-level list cannot establish that.
