South Korea has issued a recall for vehicles made by four leading automakers, including Kia Motors, Volkswagen, Ford Motor, and Stellantis. The recall affects a combined total of more than 54,000 vehicle units.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the Korean units of the said vehicle brands have issued a voluntary recall for some of their models due to faulty parts. The vehicles were sold in the country, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) made the recall announcement on Wednesday, June 7.
The said Korean government agency said that Kia Corp., Ford Sales & Service Korea, Volkswagen Group Korea, and Stellantis Korea would fix the defective parts as soon as the vehicles are brought in to authorized dealers for repairs. To be exact, the four vehicle manufacturers are recalling 54,412 units of nine different car models.
As stated by the national transport ministry, the issues that prompted the recall include a defective door locking system in Volkswagen’s ID.4 all-electric sports utility vehicle, faulty dashboard software in Kia Motors’ Ray mini car model, and a malfunctioning intermediate shaft assembly in Stellantis Korea’s imported Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs.
Moreover, Xinhua reported that Ford Sales & Service Korea is recalling its Ranger Wildtrak, which was reported to have an issue with its shock observer on the front wheels. The company will fix 93 units of this model. For Volkswagen Korea, 4,816 units are affected, while it is 1,479 units for Stellantis.
All owners of the affected vehicles were advised to bring their vehicles to the nearest repair and service centers. The MOLIT said that authorized dealers would fix the faulty parts for free, including replacements if needed.
