TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
- The defect
- Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2022 Sorento and Telluride vehicles. The vehicles may be equipped with an incorrect spare tire which, when installed, can impair the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the traction control system (TCS). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- What it can cause
- Impaired anti-lock braking or traction control systems can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the spare tire, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 27, 2022. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC244.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 8 vehicles this is a small campaign: 93% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 505 complaints with NHTSA, 84 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the tires, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2021, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V430000 (seats), 25V649000 (electrical system), 24V407000 (seats), 24V214000 (power train).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Kia Motors America with NHTSA on July 19, 2022 as campaign 22V509000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
