Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2020-2024 Telluride vehicles. The front power seat motor may overheat due to a stuck power seat slide knob or an improper recall 24V407 repair, which can result in a fire while parked or driving.

Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2020-2024 Telluride vehicles. The intermediate shaft and right front driveshaft may not be fully engaged, which can result in vehicle roll away while in PARK.
Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Telluride vehicles potentially equipped with a Genuine Kia 4-pin tow hitch harness installed as original equipment, or purchased as an accessory through a Kia dealership. Debris and moisture accumulation on the tow hitch harness module printed circuit board (PCB) may cause an electrical short, which can result in a fire.
Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2022 Sorento and Telluride vehicles. The vehicles may be equipped with an incorrect spare tire which, when installed, can impair the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the traction control system (TCS). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
My 2022 Kia Telluride LX AWD center screen began failing intermittently around October 2025 and failed completely around August 2026. Dates are approximate; 10/29/2025 represents my estimate of about one year ago, not an exact day. Dealer intake was 10/1/2026 at about 75,000 miles; mileage at first failure is unknown. The screen failure prevents the backup-camera image from displaying in reverse, increasing the risk of striking an unseen person or obstacle. No crash, fire, injury, fatality or police report occurred. I also reported intermittent loss of speedometer information. On 10/22 the dealer confirmed the failed center screen and rear-camera display, but said the cluster worked and it had not reproduced the cluster symptom. A common cause is unproven. Speed and warning lamps at first failure are unknown. The dealer recommended head-unit 96560-S9420CDD replacement for $7,799.79. Replacement is not authorized; I requested preservation of components and diagnostic records. After repeated assistance requests and escalation, Kia's 10/29 response concluded its review and denied warranty coverage without technical findings. Please investigate whether loss of the rear-camera display reflects a safety defect requiring a recall. Kia recalls 21V577/22V344 concern earlier-built 2022 Telluride clusters; my reported 4/1/2022 build is outside their ranges. Other Kia recalls address electrical-noise/voltage-related blank clusters (23V298) and voltage-damaged rear cameras (25V426). These are different components and populations, not proof of coverage or a shared cause. Related litigation, O'Connell v. Kia, 8:26-cv-01291, concerns alleged 2023-2025 cluster failures, not my 2022 head unit. Please assess the failed assembly, electrical circuits, software and field data to determine whether existing recall scopes leave other safety failures unaddressed. Warranty expiration does not resolve that safety question.

I am submitting a formal safety complaint regarding a recurring transmission issue with my 2022 Kia Telluride AWD. When descending hills in manual shift mode, the transmission initially provides engine braking but subsequently loses that braking effect. The vehicle then begins accelerating downhill, requiring application of the service brakes to maintain a controlled speed. I recently completed a test drive with a Kia dealership service technician, who personally witnessed and acknowledged the problem. Following that test drive, the head service manager informed me that this issue occurs in some Tellurides following a Kia software update to the transmission. I was further advised that the dealership cannot correct the issue until Kia releases another software update. This response is extremely concerning. I regularly drive in Colorado's mountainous terrain, where predictable engine braking is an important part of controlling vehicle speed during extended descents.

My low beam passenger side headlight started turning on and off randomly. Now it’s both low and high beams. Some days it is on when I start the vehicle and then turns off while driving and vise versa. Some days there is a dash light with it, and some days there is not. Some days it is out all day, while other days it works all day. Then I can get in the vehicle the next day and it turns on and off sparatically.
