The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has urged owners of about 463,000 Kia Telluride crossover SUVs to park outdoors because of a fire-risk issue until recall repairs are completed, according to Insurance Journal.

The outlet reports that Kia said it will recall 463,000 Telluride crossovers in the U.S. over the same fire-related concern.

Until the vehicles receive the remedy, the NHTSA guidance focuses on reducing risk to owners by limiting exposure in enclosed areas.

The recall and safety guidance highlight how automotive defect remediation can become an immediate consumer-risk issue, with vehicle owners asked to take interim steps before the fix is applied.
