What's wrong, in plain English

On some Kia Telluride vehicles, the high beam headlights may stop working. This means the high beams might not turn on or work correctly when the driver tries to use them at the front of the vehicle. This issue is limited to the high beam function of the headlights and does not describe any other headlight or lighting problems on the vehicle.

What you should do

1. Check your vehicle's recall status by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 2. Contact a Kia dealer to have the high beam headlights inspected and repaired or replaced as necessary; call Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. 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 24V148000.
