Buying a used 2024 Kia Telluride? Check these 5 recalls first
Three critical fire recalls apply here: engine parts that may break and cause a fire, plus the two seat-motor fire campaigns that carry park-outside advisories. A rollaway-in-park recall and a low-severity door belt molding trim recall round out the list. NHTSA shows 215 unverified owner complaints (6 crashes, 2 fires, 4 injuries); electrical system leads the named areas at 47, followed by visibility/wiper and forward collision avoidance at 28.
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.
- Confirm by VIN that the engine fire recall and both seat-motor fire recalls are completed.
- Ask whether the driver-assist/forward collision warning has ever falsely activated or been serviced.
- Verify the rollaway-in-park remedy, and inspect the door belt molding for detachment.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
