Kia America issues a new recall for 462,869 to nearly 463,000 2020–2024 Kia Telluride SUVs because of a potential fire risk related to the vehicle’s power seat system. Multiple outlets report that a damaged power seat switch can overheat. Kia states this problem can lead to a fire, and the recall replaces or “supersedes” an earlier fix from 2024 that did not fully resolve the underlying issue. Several customers report fires after prior repairs, which prompts Kia to send the vehicles back in for an all-new remedy. In the meantime, Kia urges owners to park the recalled Tellurides outside and away from buildings while awaiting repair instructions. The recall targets the affected Telluride model years covered by the updated notice, and owners are expected to receive updated steps from Kia on how and when to get the corrective work completed. The news coverage emphasizes that the new action is meant to address the seat-related overheating issue more effectively than the previous recall repair.
