Kia Telluride power seat motor can overheat and catch fire

NHTSA campaign 26V430000 · Reported 2026-07-02 · Kia America, Inc.

critical How serious is it? About this label

Very serious: a fire can start while parked or driving, and Kia says to park outside and away from buildings until the repair is done, though the notice does not tell you to stop driving.

⚠ Park outside, away from buildings — fire risk. See all such recalls.

What's wrong, in plain English

The motor that moves your front power seat can overheat. This happens if the seat's slide knob gets stuck, or if an earlier recall repair was not done correctly. An overheated motor can start a fire, whether the vehicle is parked or being driven. Kia will install an electronic fuse in the seat circuit to prevent overheating. This replaces an earlier recall, so even if your Telluride was already fixed under that one, it needs this new repair.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Telluride is included. 2. Park outside, away from your house, garage, or other structures until the repair is finished. 3. Call your Kia dealer or Kia at 1-800-333-4542 (recall SC374) to schedule the free fuse installation, even if you already had the earlier recall done.
