Kia recalls 6,264 2027 Kia Telluride and Kia Telluride Hybrid models due to a possible seat belt defect. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warns that the driver’’’s seat may be the most dangerous spot in certain examples of the SUV, because the seat belt strap may not extend, becoming unusable, which could fail to restrain the driver in a crash, thus increasing the risk of injury. The cause of the defect is believed to be connected to an “incorrect vehicle sensor” that was installed in certain driver seat belt assemblies by one of Kia’s suppliers. NHTSA said the issue was due to a supplier error.
