The 2025 Kia Telluride has 4 recalls, the most serious being a front seat defect on power seat-equipped vehicles where the seat back frame can fail to hold an occupant in place during a crash, raising the risk of injury.
A separate concern involves the spare tire: certain vehicles were fitted with an incorrect spare that, when put into use, can interfere with the anti-lock braking and traction control systems, reducing the vehicle's ability to stop or maintain grip in an emergency. On the exterior, door belt molding trim can delaminate and detach from the vehicle while driving, creating a road hazard for other vehicles.
