Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Transport Canada recall 2025345 · manufacturer campaign RC216

20 June 2025

Transport Canada lists: Niro 2020–2022

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a problem with the rearview camera could cause the rearview camera image not to display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the vehicle is reversing.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the rearview camera.

7 January 2025

Transport Canada lists: Niro 2019–2022

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, water could enter the integrated electronic brake (IEB) and cause it to corrode. If this happens, the IEB motor could fail and cause reduced braking. Note: This service campaign only affects certain Niro EV models.

Why it matters

Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the integrated electronic brake. The dealer will apply silicone to the IEB bolt hole or replace the IEB, as necessary.

21 May 2024

Transport Canada lists: Niro 2022

What is wrong

On certain electric vehicles, the safety plug for the high-voltage battery may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the plug could overheat and melt. This problem could also cause a loss of power to the wheels.

Why it matters

A safety plug that overheats and melts can create the risk of a fire. A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the safety plug.

1 August 2023

Transport Canada lists: Niro 2017–2022

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, fluid could leak onto the printed circuit board for the hydraulic clutch actuator (HCA). If this happens, the circuit board could short circuit.

Why it matters

A short circuit could create the risk of an engine compartment fire while driving.

What the dealer will do

Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the hydraulic clutch actuator (HCA), and replace it if necessary. The technician will also install a new fuse for the HCA to reduce the risk of a fire.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
