Kia America, Inc. is recalling approximately 427,407 of its 2020-2024 Telluride vehicles because the intermediate shaft and right front driveshaft may not fully engage. This defect can cause the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly while parked, which could lead to a crash or serious injury. Owners are urged to use their emergency parking brake every time they exit the vehicle until a permanent repair is made by a Kia dealer.
If the driveshafts are not properly engaged, the vehicle may move even when the transmission is set to 'Park.' This creates a roll away hazard that increases the risk of a collision or injury to bystanders and passengers.
You have 2 options:
Electronic parking brake software update and intermediate shaft replacement.
Interim safety precaution.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
