2022 Kia Telluride recall: instrument cluster display may go blank

Excess adhesive in the instrument cluster circuit board may cause the display to go blank, preventing drivers from seeing critical information and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states no illnesses or injuries reported. While the blank display poses a crash risk, the hazard is theoretical rather than documented. Per the severity rubric for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported,' this is classified as High.

Plain-English summary

Kia Motors America is recalling certain 2022 Kia Telluride vehicles due to excess adhesive in the instrument cluster circuit board. This adhesive buildup may cause the display screen to go blank, preventing drivers from seeing critical information like the odometer and speed.

A blank instrument cluster display prevents the driver from seeing critical information such as the fuel level, speedometer, and other vital gauges. Without this information, drivers face an increased risk of a crash.

Approximately 3,596 vehicles are affected. Owners were notified by letter mailed July 15, 2022. Dealers will replace the instrument cluster assembly free of charge. To schedule service, owners can contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542 or call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
