Buying a used 2022 Kia Telluride? Check these 7 recalls first
The 2022 Kia Telluride has 7 recalls in this group. Fire risks involving tow hitch wiring, the seat knob, and the power seat motor carry park-outside instructions. Driveshaft-related rollaway, blank instrument displays, and an incorrect spare tire round out the record. NHTSA lists 321 unverified owner complaints, including unknown or other issues at 80, visibility/wiper at 73, electrical system at 68, and engine at 29. Display operation and spare-tire identification are concrete inspection points.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Obtain completion records and current park-outside instructions for the three fire-risk recalls.
- Verify driveshaft and both instrument-display recall repairs; check display operation.
- Confirm the spare tire matches the recall remedy and ask about visibility/wiper repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
