Each campaign in detail

Combiné d'instrumentation : rappel du tableau de bord
Manufacturer recall
Le rappel A12/01783/23 (code constructeur 231025 pour le Niro HEV) vise les modèles fabriqués en 2022-2023 : une instabilité de tension au démarrage peut empêcher le tableau de bord de s'allumer, ce qui prive le conducteur d'indications importantes et augmente le risque d'accident. Le libellé officiel est ambigu entre HEV et hybride rechargeable : seul le numéro de série confirme l'éligibilité, par le réseau Kia.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
