Subaru Forester: Consumer info / Reporting Safety Defects (U.S. only)

If you ever reasonably believe that your Kia Telluride has a structural or mechanical defect which could cause a sudden crash, severe physical injury, or potential fatality, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to promptly notifying Kia America, Inc.

If the NHTSA receives a pattern of similar complaints from vehicle owners across the country, it has the authority to open a formal engineering investigation, and if it determines that an active safety defect exists across a specific group of vehicles, it may order a mandatory safety recall and remedy campaign. However, please note that the NHTSA cannot become directly involved in individual disputes or civil problems arising between you, your local dealership, or Kia America, Inc.

To contact the NHTSA directly, you may call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-888-275-9171); visit the official website at http://www.NHTSA.gov; download the official SaferCar mobile application; or send written correspondence to: Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Ave, SE., West Building, Washington, DC 20590.

You can also obtain a wealth of additional valuable information regarding general motor vehicle safety and active recalls directly from http://www.NHTSA.gov.
