Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 35,031 model year 2020 Telluride vehicles because the high beam headlights may fail to operate. A defect in the headlight assembly can cause the high beams to become inoperable, which reduces the driver's ability to see the road clearly. Dealers will inspect the headlights and either repair or replace the affected components free of charge.

Risk

Inoperable high beam headlights reduce visibility during nighttime driving or in poor weather conditions, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
