June 7 (Reuters) - Kia America is recalling

462,869 Telluride vehicles in the U.S. due to a fire risk from

overheating front power seat motor, the U.S. National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday.

The recall includes some of the Korean automaker's Telluride

SUVs built between 2020 and 2024.

"The front power seat motor may overheat due to a stuck

power seat slide knob, which can result in a fire while parked

or driving," the NHTSA said in a statement.

According to the safety regulator, Kia's dealers will

install a bracket for the power seat switch back covers and

replace the seat slide knobs, free of charge to remedy the

issue.
