K5 models from 2023 to 2025 have also been recalled due to window trim detachment issues. 100,063 vehicles have been recalled in this case.
These models could also be facing some issues with the C-Pillar garnish face plates. These are decorative panels situated near the left and right rear windows. Kia, in an additional notice, said the piece may loosen and fall off due to supplier quality issues.
The NHTSA, meanwhile, said the loose parts could become a hazard for other drivers and even cause crashes.
They also said Kia owners can bring their vehicles to a dealership for free inspection and replacement of the parts affected. Vehicle owners will get notification letters on September 26.
The Kia K5 is known for offering a lot for a family sedan for the price it comes at, and is equipped with a turbo-charged engine. Meanwhile, the Telluride is a spacious eight-seater which has a high towing capacity and tires that are well-suited for every terrain.

Mercedes-Benz Announces 'Biggest Product Launch Program In History'
Mercedes-Benz is planning to launch a swarm of cars in the next two years, covering various segments in the global market. As per Motor1's report, the German brand has revealed the information in a document prepared for investors, claiming to have "the biggest product launch program in the history of Mercedes-Benz." Specifically, the automaker has around 18 models planned for the market in the next year, of which two have been unveiled already. Diving deeper into the details, the brand has classified the launches in Entry, Core, and Top-End categories. As for models, there will be a new ICE vehicle in the "Entry" segment by next year, followed by the launch of two EVs. These are likely the next-generation GLA and GLB compact crossovers. Meanwhile, in the "Core" class, the brand seems to have a C-Class and GLC with mid-cycle facelifts for both ICE and electric variants. The "Top End" category of the Mercedes-Benz has four ICE vehicles along with five EVs. This list includes the S-Class and the EQS facelift. It is to be noted that the brand had already promised that the S-Class would get a major upgrade with the facelift. This was backed by the statement from CEO Ola Kallenius, claiming to have invested a lot more in the model update than they normally do. The product roadmap mainly focuses on updates and next-generation vehicles, but there will be new additions to the lineup as well. In addition to the already announced electric CLA and CLA Shooting Brake, along with the forthcoming C-Class EV, Mercedes has also confirmed the development of electric variants of the next-generation GLA and GLB. Meanwhile, "Little G," a smaller version of the G-Wagen, is also in the works. Mercedes' AMG division is also quite active, launching its first fully electric vehicles. The GT XX concept serves as a preview for an electric super sedan, which will be followed by an SUV from the same family. Additionally, a new combustion engine is under development. This new large-displacement engine is expected to be ready by 2027.
