Kia is warning owners of almost 463,000 of its popular Telluride SUVs in the United States to keep them parked outside and away from buildings because the front seats could start burning. The recall involves 2020 through 2024 Kia Telluride models. The Telluride, a roomy SUV with three rows of seats, has been an extremely popular model for the Korean automaker. In 2023, another customer complained of a smoke smell from the passenger-side power seat, which wasn’t working. An investigation by Kia concluded that the problem was with the power seat switches that could be damaged in a way that causes its motor to overheat.
