Kia America is recalling 463,000 Telluride SUVs in the U.S. due to a fire risk from overheating front power seat motors. The recall affects models built between 2020 and 2024. The issue stems from a stuck power seat slide knob, which can cause the motors to overheat and potentially catch fire. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been involved in the recall process. Kia has advised owners to park their vehicles outside until the issue is resolved.
