Even after last year’s fix, fires still popped up under passenger seats when the slide knob got stuck, causing overheating. Some dealers didn’t install the repair correctly, prompting this expanded recall. Eighteen fires reported since October 2023—no injuries or crashes—but that’s still too many. The new fix: a special electronic fuse that shuts off the motor if the switch fails. Ready by early August, with official notices going out August 13th. Until then? Park your Telluride outside, away from buildings. Check NHTSA or Kia’s recall tool to see if yours is affected. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
