Kia is recalling more than 427.000 of its Telluride SUVs after it was found that if parked on a downhill slope, they could move on their own.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, all Telluride vehicles manufactured between 2020 and 2023 and certain models from 2024 are covered by the recall.

"Telluride" has become a hit among Americans since 2019, when it came on the market, due to its spacious interior.

The demand for these models was so great that Kia could not produce them fast enough for several years, he reports N1.

However, according to the National Administration's report, a major component of the SUV's steering may be improperly assembled on the recalled vehicles.

The failure may cause the car to move unintentionally while parked if the parking brake is not engaged.
