A new recall has been issued for nearly 463,000 Kia Telluride SUVs due to a fire risk, affecting Buffalo area owners who are urged to park their vehicles outside and away from buildings. The recall was issued after several customers reported fires following the previous recall, prompting Kia to take further action to ensure the safety of their customers.
" Owners should park their vehicles outside and away from buildings" a Kia spokesperson said. The recall affects Kia Telluride SUVs from model years 2020 to 2023, with owners being notified by Kia to bring their vehicles in for repairs. Delaware Avenue residents who own these vehicles should be cautious and take immediate action to avoid any potential fires. South Buffalo homeowners should also be aware of the recall as it may affect their neighbors and community.
The recall is expected to be completed by the end of the summer, with Kia providing loaner vehicles to affected owners. As the recall process begins, Buffalo residents can expect to see an increase in Kia service appointments at local dealerships, including the Kia dealership on Main Street. The recall will have a significant impact on Buffalo residents who rely on their vehicles for daily commutes, especially those who live in areas with limited parking options, such as Allentown. Buffalo residents who own Kia Telluride SUVs should contact their local Kia dealership to schedule a repair appointment as soon as possible.
Looking ahead, Kia owners can expect a formal notification from the company by the end of the month, with repairs being completed on a first-come, first-served basis.
