Hyundai Motor Co., Kia Corp. and two other carmakers will recall over 200,000 vehicles due to faulty components, the transport ministry said Wednesday. The four companies, including Mercedes-Benz Korea and Stellantis Korea, are voluntarily recalling a total of 206,844 units of 43 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 engine power transmission control device in 111,307 units of Kia's Niro hybrid models. Some 21,770 units of the company's K9 and 37,059 units of Hyundai's Accent model were found to have poor durability in the electronic control hydraulic unit. Another problem was the poor fixation of components in the battery units of 12,629 vehicles of Mercedes-Benz's 12 models, including the GLE450 4MATIC model. Also, 2,483 units of Stellantis' Jeep Cherokee units were subject to corrective action due to a potential fire risk from a design error in the trunk's drainage structure . Source: Yonhap News Agency
