Front and passenger seats may fail to restraint occupants. I was told there is no remedy for this. I've expressed this is a major safety concern for the driver. As a disabled veteran I need the safety of knowing my seat is functioning properly.

I own a 2025 kia Telluride sx x-line with that is currently under safety recall (NHTSA #26v105, kia recall sc362a) involving both front seatbacks. The recall states that there is a safety issue, but there is no remedy available at this time. I contacted kia corporate regarding this issue and was assigned case number xxx. I spoke with two separate representatives and was told that there is nothing they can do, even if the case is escalated. During my second call, the representative disconnected the call while I was still asking questions about the safety risks of driving the vehicle with my family. This recall involves structural seat safety, which directly impacts occupant protection in the event of a crash. I regularly transport children in this vehicle and do not feel safe continuing to drive it without knowing the extent of the risk or having any interim solution. Kia has not provided clear information about whether the vehicle is safe to operate, nor have they offered alternative transportation while the remedy is unavailable. I am requesting that this issue be reviewed, including kia’s handling of this recall and lack of support for affected customers. I am also requesting guidance on whether this vehicle is considered safe to drive under these conditions. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
There is a safety recall on my 2025 kia Telluride, I went to the dealership about 3 days ago but the fix is not available. Should I just wait, I heard it can cause death during a crash. Me and my wife have only one car. So I have to keep using it until the fix is available? thanks.

We first heard about the recall and it was listed on NHTSA on 2/23/2026. Today is 2/22/2026, and we have not received any information from kia. I attempted to call kia numerous times. It lists that there is a safety malfunction with the front seats, which could be dangerous if the vehicle is involved in a collision. This is a safety issue, not a convenience issue, and needs to be addressed by kia emergently. It has already been 2 months since the recall date, and there is zero information from kia.
