One of Jones & Swanson’s top recommendations for vehicle safety is regularly checking your car for maintenance and recalls.
Subsequently for KIA Telluride drivers, issues with the 2020, 2023, and select 2024 models are cause for concern. According to the NHTSA, over 400,000 vehicles have been recalled.
The mechanical issue within the SUV involves the linkage between metal shafts that connect both the engine and transmission to the wheels. When left untreated, unvoluntary movement of the car is likely to occur while it is in park. This is causing the vehicle to roll away while parked, which is undoubtedly a cause of major concern and can result in unintended auto injury.
What Can I Do?
To avoid issues and injuries associated with vehicle recalls, drivers are highly recommended to educate themselves on possible recalls on their cars. This can be done through the NHTSA website, where a VIN search will reveal all the information you need. This includes what is causing your car trouble, the gravity of the situation, and how to get in contact with your manufacturer.
Kia Recall Facts
Until they can bring their car in for proper maintenance, Telluride drivers are encouraged to consistently engage their parking brake while parked.
Owners who have not had this defect addressed, regardless of issue, should visit their local KIA dealership. From there, KIA dealers can install the updated software for the electronic parking break. For any necessary repair on the car, KIA has promised to reimburse owners.
No matter what you drive, Jones & Swanson encourages you to stay up-to-date on your vehicle’s possible recalls!
