Kia recalls 427,407 Telluride vehicles for rollaway risk: See which cars are affected
View Date:2024-12-23 18:33:34
Kia has recalled over 400,000 cars for increased rollaway risk while in park, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall, submitted to NHTSA by Kia on March 20, affects certain Telluride models.
According to Kia, impacted vehicles may experience issues with the intermediate shaft and right front driveshaft failing to engage due to assembly errors. Over time, these parts only partially engaging can cause damage, resulting in vehicle movement even when the vehicle is in park.
Engaging the emergency parking brake before exiting affected vehicles can stop this unwanted movement from happening.
