Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 45 of its 2025 Telluride and 2026 Sorento vehicles because they were equipped with the wrong spare tire. If this incorrect spare is installed, it can interfere with the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control system (TCS). No incidents or injuries have been reported, and authorized Kia dealers will replace the spare wheel and tire assembly for free.
The use of an incorrect spare tire can cause the vehicle's safety systems, including anti-lock brakes and traction control, to malfunction. This failure increases the risk of a crash, particularly during emergency braking or in slippery road conditions.
Free replacement of the spare wheel and tire assembly.
