What's wrong, in plain English
Kia is recalling certain Telluride SUVs because the engine valve springs may break while the vehicle is being driven. If a valve spring breaks, the engine can suddenly lose the power that drives the wheels, meaning the vehicle can lose forward power unexpectedly while on the road. In some cases, a broken valve spring can also punch a hole through the engine block itself.
What you should do
2. Contact your Kia dealer, or call Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542.
3. The repair, replacing the engine sub-assembly, is free.
