I received a message from my dealer this morning about a recall for the battery. Here’s the link they provided: battery recall info. They asked me to bring in my car and leave it for three days. They’ll give me a loaner and a gift card. We had our battery replaced under warranty some time ago, but it seems this recall still applies.
Thanks for letting us know. Good luck!

Thank you. I’ll share my experience afterward.
April 17?

Yes.
My battery is acting up, could this be the reason? It’s wild because I took it in today and saw this. They mentioned something about a recall, but I’m not sure what it was about.

What kind of problems are you having? Ours lost a lot of range, and we took it in and it qualified for a replacement under warranty. Here’s the recall info I found: Recall info

I lost range, and the yellow turtle light kept coming on along with the battery light. The miles on the battery started dropping 30 miles within a few feet, and it wasn’t connecting when I tried to charge.
@Aydin
That all sounds familiar. Keep contacting dealers until you find one who will help.

I took it in, and they submitted an order for the recall, so I’m waiting to hear back.
@Jeremybeans
On Kia’s website, it doesn’t show a recall on the battery, just two other recalls.
Appreciate your update. I’m eager to see how this goes for you.
By the way, what year is your car? I have a 2016, wondering if this applies to mine.

I think it’s a 2017, but I have a cat on my lap and can’t get up to check. 
I called the dealership just to make sure it wasn’t a scam, and the woman said they were looking for 20 people, so I’m not sure what that means.
@Jeremybeans
Mine stopped charging recently—something about an onboard charger that needs to be replaced.
Could it be related?

Hopefully I’ll find out more on Monday. Should I start a post asking if people have questions they want answered? (I’m new to this forum, not sure how things work here)

Same here, I have a 2016 too.
