Hyundai Motor, Kia and two other carmakers will recall over 7,700
vehicles due to faulty components, the transport ministry here said on
Wednesday.
The four companies, including Jaguar Land-Rover Korea
and Volkswagen Group Korea, are voluntarily recalling 7,783 units of 11
different models, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport
said in a statement.
The problems that prompted the recall
included a manufacturing defect in the exhaust gas recirculation valve
power unit, which may cause the engine to stall while driving, in 4,118
units of five different Hyundai models and 2,668 units of Kia models,
reports Yonhap news agency.
Another problem was the poor fixation
of the rear right illumination device in 329 units of two different
Jaguar Land-Rover models, including the new Range Rover Sport P360.
Also,
623 units of Volkswagen's Touareg 3 3.0 TDI model were subject to a
corrective action due to a software error in the vehicles' mobile app,
which could lead to a vehicle malfunction during remote automated
parking.
