Car manufacturer Kia, is recalling almost 463,000 Telluride SUVs from model years 2020-2024 due to a fire risk linked to overheating seat motors, federal highway safety regulators warned. Owners are urged to park their vehicles outside as a precaution.
The recall affects Tellurides manufactured between January 2019 and May 2024. The defect, present in an estimated 1% of these SUVs, involves the power seat adjustment motor. If the seat adjustment switch is hit too forcefully, it can dislodge and cause the motor to run continuously, leading to overheating and potential fire hazards. Kia advises all owners to heed the recall and contact dealers for repairs to prevent any incidents.
