Hyundai Motor, Ford, and BMW Korea have voluntarily recalled more than 12,000 vehicle units in South Korea. The country’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) said that the automakers have to issue the recall to fix faulty parts.
As per Yonhap News Agency, BMW Korea, Ford Motor, and Hyundai Motor are recalling a combined number of 12,461 vehicles. The transport ministry said that the recalled units involve 10 different models made by the said auto brands.
In Hyundai Motor’s case, the recall affected its Grandeur GN7 model as a faulty parking sensing system was detected. For BMW, its S1000XR was found to have issues with its engine control unit. Lastly, Ford Motor Sales Service’s Ranger Raptor pickup truck has a problem with its software.
Owners of the affected vehicles may get in touch or visit the vehicle brands’ respective service centers and authorized repair shops to get their units fixed as soon as possible. MOLIT said that BMW Korea, Hyundai Motor, and Ford Motor would provide free replacement of parts if that is needed to fix the vehicles.
Meanwhile, Korea Joongang Daily reported that just last month, Hyundai Motor, BMW, and Volvo also recalled some 90,000 cars last month. Aside from the three mentioned brands, three other automakers have voluntarily recalled their units to fix faulty parts as well.
Some of the issues in this batch of recall include software errors in Hyundai Motor’s Ioniq 5 models. The car automatically unlocks its parking brakes when the door is opened.
Some of BMW’s models, including the 740is, have defects in the front passenger seat, and 1,487 units were recalled for this. Some of Volkswagen’s Audi’s A6 45 TFSI Quattro Premium and Volkswagen's Beetle 2.0 TDI were recalled due to metal shards that may injure the driver if the airbag is inflated with too much power. Finally, some of Volvo’s XC60s and Toyota’s pickups, including the Sienna Hybrid, were also part of this batch of recall.
