Known issues to check on a 2016 KIA Sorento
- GDI Four-Cylinder Engine Recalls and Kia Engine Settlement (2012–2019)
Sorentos with 2.4L GDI and 2.0L turbo GDI engines are covered by several actions: recall 17V224 (2012-2014, engine bearing wear from machining debris), recall 20V750 (2012-2013, engine-fire inspection and KSDS knock-sensor software), and Kia's engine class settlement for 2012-2019 Sorentos, which gives a lifetime engine warranty once the KSDS update is installed.
What to do: Confirm recall work and the KSDS update; ask for oil-change records and any engine replacement paperwork. - Tow Hitch Harness Fire-Risk Recall (22V703) (2016–2023)
Certain 2016-2022 Sorentos, 2021-2022 Sorento Hybrids and 2022-2023 Sorento Plug-in Hybrids with a tow hitch harness were recalled (Kia SC249) because moisture and debris on the module's circuit board could short and start a fire. Owners were told to park outside until repaired.
What to do: Confirm the hitch-harness repair, especially on Sorentos used for towing. - Engine, Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Resolution (2011–2026)
Sorentos span many powertrains: 2.4L, 2.4L GDI, 3.5L and 3.3L V6 (2011-2020), 2.0L turbo (2016-2018), and from 2021 a 2.5L, 2.5L turbo, 1.6L turbo hybrid and plug-in hybrid. Recalls, warranty coverage, towing and fuel economy differ sharply between them.
What to do: Confirm the exact powertrain, seating and drivetrain before comparing prices.
Recall applicability varies by model year, production date, engine, equipment and VIN. Check the VIN for open recalls and completed remedies, and for 2012-2019 GDI four-cylinders confirm the knock-sensor software update.
