Kia Sportage delaminating screen issue on radio/infotainment system affecting multiple owners on Kia Sportage

Problem overview

Some Kia Sportage owners report experiencing delaminating screens on their radio/infotainment systems, which often begins as a barely noticeable line that may be mistaken for a protective film. This issue typically manifests on the right side of the touch screen, where bubbles form inside, making it difficult to keep clean. Many owners have noted that this problem has emerged in recent years, with some speculating that heat could be a contributing factor. The delamination issue appears to be widespread, as multiple owners have reported similar experiences, indicating it is not an isolated incident. While the delamination may not impact the functionality of the infotainment system, it can be visually unappealing and may require attention from the dealership for resolution. Furthermore, owners whose vehicles are out of warranty may face the cost of replacing or exchanging the screen if this issue arises.
