2027 KIA Telluride, KIA Telluride Hybrid: Seat Belts recall
NHTSA campaign 26V356000 · 6,264 units potentially affected · filed Jun 2, 2026
What's wrong
Kia America, Inc (Kia) is recalling certain 2027 Telluride and Telluride Hybrid vehicles. The driver seat belt emergency locking retractor may lock, causing the seat belt strap not to extend. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
Why it matters
A seat belt strap that does not extend can fail to restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will replace the seat belt assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 31, 2026. Owners may contact Kia at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC372. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning June 16, 2026.
