Buying a used 2025 Kia Telluride? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2025 Kia Telluride has 3 recalls in this group, covering a seat frame that may not restrain an occupant, peeling door trim molding, and a spare tire that may impair braking. The restraint and braking consequences make repair records especially relevant. NHTSA lists 126 unverified owner complaints. Engine reports lead the listed areas at 51, with electrical system at 23, unknown or other issues at 23, and visibility/wiper at 18. Engine complaints are separate from the listed recall subjects.
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 documentation showing completion of the seat-frame recall.
- Verify the door-trim remedy and inspect molding attachment.
- Confirm the spare-tire remedy and request records for reported engine or electrical symptoms.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Kia dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
