Is my product affected?

2020 KIA TELLURIDE

  • Brand KIA

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Kia is recalling certain 2020 Telluride vehicles equipped with Smart Cruise Control because the trailer brake lights fail to illuminate when the Smart Cruise Control applies the brakes. This means that when the vehicle is slowing down, drivers following the vehicle may not be warned through the trailer brake lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

Kia will notify owners about this recall, and dealers will install an additional wire harness to the main fuse box to signal the trailer brake lights at no charge. The recall began September 10, 2020. Affected owners should contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542 and reference recall number SC194.
