2020 KIA TELLURIDE EX

The auction record lists the vehicle with a certificate of title and identifies hail as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the hail claim is not supported by the visible evidence: the hood, visible roof surfaces, and rear liftgate/deck area appear largely smooth, without the numerous shallow dents typically concentrated on upward-facing panels. No clear hail-dent pattern was visible. The documented condition finding is minor cosmetic wear on the front driver’s seat leather upholstery. Visible creasing and light surface wear are present on the seat cushion and outer bolster. No other damage findings were provided. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2020 Kia Telluride EX SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline V6 engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Kia Georgia, Inc. in the United States. NHTSA recall records list several campaigns for 2020 Telluride vehicles. These include rear-seat-belt assembly issues affecting child-restraint security (19V594000), a trailer-brake-light wiring issue on vehicles equipped with Smart Cruise Control (20V436000), a potential fire risk involving certain Genuine Kia tow-hitch harnesses (22V626000), possible high-beam headlight failure (24V148000), a driveline engagement issue that may allow the vehicle to roll while in Park (24V214000), and a front power-seat motor overheating/fire risk (24V407000). The records also list recall 26V430000, which replaces 24V407000 and concerns the same front power-seat motor issue, including vehicles previously repaired under the earlier recall. Recall applicability and completion status should be confirmed using the vehicle’s VIN and Kia service records before purchase.
