Kia Telluride Recall 26V430: Front Power Seat Motor Can Overheat and Cause a Fire

NHTSA campaign 26V430, reported July 2, 2026, 462,869 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2020-2024 Kia Telluride vehicles have a front power seat motor that may overheat. This can happen when the power seat slide knob sticks, or when the earlier recall repair was not done correctly. Overheating can lead to a fire, either while the vehicle is parked or while it is being driven, and a fire increases the risk of injury.

Until the recall repair is completed, park the vehicle outdoors and away from structures. Dealers will install an electronic fuse assembly at no cost to you. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on August 13, 2026. If you have questions, contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542, referencing Kia recall number SC374.

This recall replaces NHTSA recall 24V407, so vehicles already repaired under that recall will also need the new remedy. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls; involved VINs will become searchable on NHTSA.gov starting July 17, 2026.
