I rented it in Manhattan, and the car (a Kia Telluride) had a New York license plate  [XXX] ).  I drove to Boston to pick up my daughter from college and then returned the car Saturday morning (XXX).  The drive was fine.  But when I returned the car, the attendant took the key and wrote on the window and windshield that the car had been recalled (I've uploaded photos).  I complained to the rental staff that they rented me a car that had been recalled.  The attendant said they apparently didn't know about the recall until I returned the car.  I find that hard to believe.  I checked NHTSA's website a day after I returned the car  [XXX] ), and it said that the Kia Telluride I rented had been recalled on February 23, 2026.  The reason for the recall was because \"THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BACK FRAME ASSEMBLIES MAY FAIL TO PROPERLY RESTRAIN OCCUPANTS IN A CRASH\".  That's a terrifying thought.  According to Avis's recall policy [XXX]  they're not supposed to rent the car and they are supposed to notify me about the recall.  Avis did neither of these things.  Luckily the trip was accident-free and my daughter and I are physically fine.  But I think Avis should be held accountable for allowing me to drive a rental car that may have had a higher likelihood of killing us in a crash.  At the very least they didn't notify me in any way.  They weren't even going to mention anything about the recall, and I had to ask about it after I saw what they wrote on the windows.  I also submitted a review afterward (Avis sent me a standard email asking about my experience), and I explained my frustration about them renting me a recalled car.  Avis replied, but it was just a standard apology and they didn't say anything about the recall.  All around a terrible experience.
