Kia has issued a second recall for 462,869 vehicles. Certain first-generation Telluride SUVs may have seat motors that can overheat and catch fire.
According to the recall report, the power seat switch is susceptible to external impacts. If one occurs with enough force, it can dislodge, misalign, or damage the switch, resulting in the continuous operation of the seat motor. This can overheat the motor and increase the risk of a fire. The recall affects the 2020-2024 Telluride SUV.
