The 2027 Kia Telluride has 3 recalls, all involving restraint or seating systems, with the most serious being two separate seat belt defects: a third-row center buckle that may not latch and a driver's belt retractor that can lock up and prevent the strap from extending, both of which can fail to hold an occupant in a crash.
The third recall affects only Telluride Hybrid SX Prestige and X-Line SX Prestige trims equipped with the Executive Package. The second-row power seats can fail to detect contact with a person and continue moving during automated functions like tilt-and-slide or fold-and-stow, which can trap an occupant, particularly a child, between the seat and surrounding surfaces.
