Kia Recalls Nearly 15,000 K4s, Tellurides for Defective Seat Belt

The issue involves the rear center seat belt anchor buckle in the backseat of the K4 and in the third-row of the Telluride. Due to a manufacturing error, the seat belt may not latch properly and may fail to restrain an occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
To resolve the issue, dealers will inspect and replace the anchor buckle assembly, as necessary, for free. Kia will notify owners May 5, but those with further questions can contact the brand at 800-333-4542 (Kia’s number for this recall is SC364), call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
