Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 462,869 Telluride vehicles from model years 2020 through 2024 because the front power seat motor can overheat. This issue occurs when the power seat slide knob becomes stuck, which can cause the motor to overwork and potentially catch fire. Dealers will resolve the issue by installing a bracket for the power seat switch back covers and replacing the seat slide knobs at no cost to owners.
A stuck seat slide knob can cause the seat motor to overheat while the vehicle is parked or being driven, creating a significant fire risk. Owners are urged to park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until the necessary safety repairs are performed to prevent property damage or injury.
