This is the first I've heard of this. I remember reading there was a shortage of SX in general as Kia was producing more lower trims thinking they would sell more of them.

Sounds like they're making up another story. Did they give you a VIN when you ordered yours?

I think the dealers are having to get creative with their excuses for delays.

What is the process of assigning a VIN and how long does that take?

Only because the Telluride requires Max Strength due to the halos

If you haven't seen this yet it's no longer just a parts shortage but a production problem https://www.kiatelluride.org/threads/sx-prestige-officially-no-longer-available-to-order.617/
