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.

The 2024 Kona Electric marks the second model year of the redesigned second generation, and its federal record shows a continued low-volume complaint profile — 15 complaints, zero recalls, zero investigations, and 18 TSBs — that sits well below the 20192020 first-generation peak (179 and 54 complaints, 5 and 3 recalls respectively) but represents a modest uptick from the 2023 floor of five complaints. Electrical System categories account for seven of the 15 complaints (four standalone, two paired with Exterior Lighting, one with Power Train), though the data does not specify root causes, and no crash or fire complaints were recorded for the year. TSB volume has declined steadily across the generation, from 102 in 2020 to 18 in 2024, suggesting diminishing service-action intensity. The single 2025 recall is too early to interpret as a trend. Overall, the 2024 model year lands in a stable, low-incident portion of the generation’s arc. This is a good year to buy if you prioritize a mature, low-complaint platform with no open federal safety actions.
