Kia issues 'park outside' recall for over 460,000 Telluride vehicles due to fire risk
View Date:2024-12-23 21:15:23
Kia has issued a "park outside" recall for 462,869 model year 2020-2024 Telluride vehicles because of a risk of the vehicle catching fire while parked or driving.
According to a notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the front power seat motor may overheat due to a stuck power seat slide knob, which can cause the vehicle to catch fire. The recall affects certain vehicles manufactured Jan. 9, 2019 through May 29, 2024, according to the NHTSA.
The automaker is advising drivers to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will install a bracket for the power seat switch back covers and replace the seat slide knobs free of charge, according to the NHTSA.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 30, 2024 and owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC316.
Owners may also contact the NHTSA vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

Other recent car recalls
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued multiple recalls last week, including notices for over 125,000 Tesla vehicles for an issue with the seat belt warning system.
- More than 125,000 Tesla vehicles had a recall issued last week because of a problem with the seat belt warning system. When a driver is unbelted, the seat belt warning light and chime may fail to activate. If a vehicle fails to notify that a driver or their passengers are unbelted, it can increase the risk or injury during a crash, the NHTSA report said.
- Mercedes-Benz is also recalling 14,912 of its vehicles. In the NHTSA report, the luxury vehicle company said the battery management system software may cause the high-voltage battery to shut down. This defect can cause a sudden loss of drive power. A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
- Volkswagen is recalling 17,797 of its 2022-2024 Q4 E-TRON and Q4 E-TRON Sportback vehicles. In the NHTSA report, the automobile manufacturer said the incorrect headlight control module software may have been installed on the vehicles. This issue can cause the parking lights, headlights and turn signals not to function properly. This will interfere with the vehicle's visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
- Jaguar is recalling 22,268 of its 2018-2022 Range Rover Sport vehicles that are equipped with a surround camera system. The luxury vehicle company said that water may enter into the rearview camera causing the display image not to appear or show a distorted image. When a rearview camera image does not display properly it can decrease the driver's visibility and increase the risk of injury or crash, the NHTSA report said.
