Official U.S. NHTSA safety records organized for faster research, comparison and VIN-level follow-up.
NHTSA currently returns 2 recall records and 46 consumer complaints for this exact 2025 Kia K4 query. The largest grouped complaint category in the current dataset is Electrical System. Complaint volume is not proof of a defect and should not be used alone as a reliability score.
Related NHTSA component labels are grouped into clearer categories to reduce duplicate-looking labels. A single consumer complaint can reference more than one vehicle component, so category counts may exceed the number of individual complaints. Counts summarize reports, not confirmed defects.
Bar lengths are relative to the largest category shown on this page; they are not percentages or reliability scores.
