Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the coolant every 24,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 24,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Across the Kia EV6 generation, federal records show a strong, continuous downward trend in complaints, recalls, and technical service bulletins from the 2022 launch year through 2025. Compared to the 2024 model year, which saw 70 complaints and 3 recalls, the 2025 model year shows further improvement with just 50 complaints and, notably, zero recalls or federal investigations. For 2025, the primary complaint areas are concentrated in the Electrical System (18 complaints) and Power Train/Electrical System (5 complaints), though the data does not specify the root causes behind these reported issues. Safety metrics for the target year remain minimal, with only one crash complaint and zero fire complaints recorded. Falling at the mature end of the generation's quality arc, the 2025 EV6 represents the most refined iteration to date based on federal data, making it a highly favorable year to buy.
