Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2020-2024 Telluride vehicles. For this Kia Telluride recall, the front power seat motor may overheat due to a stuck power seat slide knob, which can result in a fire while parked or driving. If you’re considering a new vehicle, the [2024 Kia Selto](<https://www.dellakia.com/2024-kia-seltos-overview.html>)s offers a reliable and compact alternative, with advanced safety features and a strong reputation for quality and performance.

 

A fire increases the risk of injury.

 

Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete.
