Buying a used 2024 Kia Telluride? Check these 5 recalls first
The 2024 Kia Telluride has 5 recalls in this group. Broken engine valve springs, seat knob overheating, and power seat motor fire risks are prominent; the two seat-related fire recalls carry park-outside instructions. Driveshaft-related rollaway and peeling door trim complete the listed recall areas. NHTSA records 229 unverified owner complaints, including unknown or other issues at 66, electrical system at 52, visibility/wiper at 29, and structure at 28. Engine recall documentation and trim condition warrant focused review.
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.
- Verify VIN applicability and completion of the engine valve-spring recall.
- Obtain both seat fire-risk recall records and current parking instructions.
- Verify driveshaft and door-trim remedies; ask about electrical and visibility/wiper problems.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
