I see Kia is now aware of the problem.

A Kia spokesperson issued the following statement in response to C/D's request: "Kia Motors America places a priority on safety and takes reported customer concerns seriously. Warranty claims involving damage to any Kia vehicle glass are reviewed on a case-by-case basis as varying influences, such as damage from road debris and other factors beyond Kia's control, may lead to breakage of the windshield glass." The spokesperson said Kia customers can contact the automaker's Consumer Assistance Center at 800–333–4542. We will pass along comments from Subaru as well when we receive them.
Kia's all-new 2020 Telluride has only been on sale for a few months, and it is already popular with consumers, so it might be remarkable that nearly two dozen owners have filed complaints with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) about the new crossover's windshield. The complaints, detailed on NHTSA's website under the heading "Visibility/Wiper," describe windshields that seem to crack easily, and those cracks are said to have worsened so quickly and severely that they require the windshield to be replaced.
