What's wrong, in plain English

Some Telluride SUVs may have an instrument display screen that stays blank after you start the vehicle. When the screen doesn't come on, information the driver normally relies on — such as the digital speedometer, the gear selector display, and the odometer — is missing from view, leaving the driver without that information while driving.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a Kia dealer (1-800-333-4542) to schedule a software update.
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 21V577000.
