Kia Niro Recalls In The UK: Every Safety Recall By Year And Build Date, And What To Do

The Kia Niro has 6 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, 4 of them since 2020. The most common faults involve fire risk and loss of power. Enter your registration to see which apply to your car; you won't usually pay for a recall repair.¹

The Kia Niro's largest recall is R/2025/059, which replaces a fuse in the hydraulic control unit for the ABS and stability control, covering 51,667 vehicle-records. In some cars the unit could short circuit and, in rare cases, cause a fire, so follow any parking advice in your letter until the fuse is replaced. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid Niros from the first generation had earlier recalls for main relays that could overheat (R/2019/167) and a clutch actuator that could be damaged by burrs (R/2018/207), both of which could cause a loss of power; see loss of power recalls. The electric e-Niro shared a coolant leak recall for its power control unit with the Soul EV (R/2023/121), and the second-generation Niro shared driveshaft and drive unit recalls with the EV6 and EV9. Any Kia dealer can confirm by VIN which apply to your car.
