2 recalls covering model years 2027. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
The recall covers certain Telluride and Telluride Hybrid SUVs. The driver's seat belt has a locking mechanism that can jam, which stops the belt from pulling out far enough. Because the belt strap does not extend properly, it may not fit around the driver correctly, so the belt would not hold the driver in place as intended. This means the vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard for seat belts.
This recall covers certain Telluride Hybrid SUVs with power second-row seats and the Executive Package. These power seats may fail to sense that a person is in the way. If the seat contacts someone while it is moving—during functions like one-touch tilt-and-slide or automatic power fold-and-stow—it may keep moving instead of stopping. This applies to SX Prestige and X-Line SX Prestige trims equipped with that package.
