Kia Issues Major Recall for Over 200,000 US Vehicles Due to Door Belt Safety Concerns

Kia Announces Recall for Door Belt Malfunction

Kia America has initiated a recall of 201,149 vehicles across the United States following reports of a critical door belt failure. This action comes after the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) highlighted the issue in a recent report.

Potential Risks and Affected Models

The NHTSA documents reveal that the door belt molding trim on certain vehicles may delaminate and detach, posing an increased risk of accidents. Specifically, the recall targets select 2023-2025 Telluride SUVs.

Next Steps for Vehicle Owners

Owners of the impacted vehicles can expect to receive notification by September 26. Kia dealers are prepared to replace the belt molding trim assemblies as needed, offering this service at no additional cost to ensure customer safety and satisfaction.
