## What is wrong

Kia America, Inc. \(Kia\) is recalling certain 2027 Telluride Hybrid SX Prestige and X\-Line SX Prestige vehicles equipped with the Executive Package.

## What can happen

A person, especially a child, may become trapped by a rear powered seat, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Owners are advised to exercise caution when operating the second\-row power seat functions until the repair is performed. Children are advised to not be in the rear seats or near the rear seating area during power\-folding operation. The power second\-row seat control unit  software will be updated over\-the\-air \(OTA\) or by a dealer, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 20, 2026. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1\-800\-333\-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC366.
