K5 models may also face the same issue with their C-pillar garnish face plates, which are the decorative panels located near the left and right rear windows. In an additional notice, Kia said the piece may loosen and fall off due to a supplier quality issue.

Kia America has issued two recalls affecting over 300,000 vehicles due to a potential crash hazard. According to notices published by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, two recalls were recently issued due to trim pieces that may detach.

The recalls affect 201,149 Kia Telluride vehicles and 100,063 Kia K5 vehicles. In the Telluride models, the door belt molding trim can delaminate and detach, while in the K5 models, the left and right rear window trim pieces may loosen and detach. These detached pieces can become road hazards, increasing the risk of a crash.
