| Investigations Summary: | The office of defects investigation (odi) has received 23 consumer complaints alleging complete loss of high beams in model year(my) 2020 kia telluride vehicles. The complaints report a complete loss of high beams with no re-engagement resulting in reduced visibility at night requiring replacement of the headlight unit. Odi conducted several interviews to confirm that consumers are experiencing a loss of high beams with no warning and no re-engagement. Failure of the high beam exterior light system results in reduced visibility for the vehicle operator in the area to the front and sides of the vehicle. Lack of proper illumination may lead to an increased risk of a crash resulting in injury and/or property damage. Odi is opening this preliminary evaluation (pe) to determine the scope and severity of the potential problem and to fully assess the potential safety-related issues.
