The contact owns a 2024 Kia Telluride. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 MPH, he observed a metal trim on the driver's window detached partially.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer twice where the dealer taped the trim, but the failure re-occurred within hours each time. On one occasion while parked, a friend's child ran near the vehicle, was caught by the protruding metal trim, and seriously scratched. Medical attention was not needed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.
