Seat belt recall as of 8.30.19

[Buellerbuellerbueller]

Hello. I just ordered my Telluride about 2 weeks ago and should receive it on
9.18.19. and am very excited. However, I
Just read a disturbing article stating that theres a recall on the seatbelts. Something about they may not properly secure occupants in a crash. According to the article, something like > 30,000 vehicles are affected.
Hopefully mine isn't affected or gets fixed before I pick it up.
Just thought you should know because this is kind of a big deal.

And Just thinking out loud: I wonder if this affects the market rate adjustment being added to this vehicle???

Heres what I read. https://www.autoblog.com/2019/08/29/2020-kia-telluride-recall-seatbelt/

Point being, safety recalls happen, and they are good.

Thanks for posting. I looked around prior to posting and did not see any threads about it.
Agreed it's a good thing. Just hope owners know about it and if affected, get it remedied before anyone experiences a tragedy.
