What the source says
The documented condition
Kia recalled all 2020 to 2023 and certain 2024 Telluride vehicles because the intermediate shaft and right-front driveshaft may not be fully engaged. Partial engagement can damage the shaft splines and allow unintended movement while the selector is in Park if the parking brake is not applied. Kia also identifies grinding noise or reduced drive power as possible warnings.

What the official procedure directs
Kia installs updated Electronic Parking Brake software so the brake engages automatically in specified parked conditions. If intermediate-shaft damage is found after the software installation, Kia replaces the shaft.
Mileage context

Repair paths and safe checks
Match the action to the evidence.
Complete the SC303 software and shaft remedy
Kia updates the Electronic Parking Brake logic on affected VINs. If the dealer finds intermediate-shaft damage under the recall path, Kia replaces the damaged shaft.
Manually apply the parking brake every time
Until recall completion, select Park and manually engage the Electronic Parking Brake before leaving the vehicle, exactly as Kia's recall filing instructs. Confirm that the parking-brake indicator is shown.
Do not rely on the transmission's Park position alone while the recall is outstanding.
