Recall 26V-356: Seat Belts
Problem: Kia America, Inc (Kia) is recalling certain 2027 Telluride and Telluride Hybrid vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
Risk: A seat belt strap that does not extend can fail to restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Risk: A person, especially a child, may become trapped by a rear powered seat, increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: Owners are advised to exercise caution when operating the second-row power seat functions until the repair is performed.
