Kia has issued a recall for 45 vehicles, including select 2025 Telluride and 2026 Sorento models. The reason is an incorrect spare wheel type that, if installed, may affect the ABS and traction control systems, creating a potential safety risk.The error violates U.S. federal standards (FMVSS 110), so the company will replace the spare wheel and tire at no cost. Owners will receive mailed notifications starting December 3, 2025. VINs of the affected vehicles will be available for verification on NHTSA.gov starting November 13.Kia representatives emphasized that most vehicles equipped with the correct components are not part of the recall. The measure is intended to improve safety and reliability across the 2025 and 2026 lineup, including the updated Sorento.It’s a small campaign, but the focus is sensible: if a spare can interfere with ABS and traction control, a proactive fix helps maintain trust in these new models.
