A total of 4,560 vehicles of two Audi models, including the Audi A6 45 Premium, were found to have cracks due to insufficient durability of the starter alternator housing, and if moisture enters through the cracks, there is a possibility of internal short circuit and overheating leading to fire.

A total of 117 vehicles of four McLaren models, including the McLaren 720S, imported and sold by Kiheung International, were found to have a possibility of fire due to corrosion of the fuel tank and fuel leakage if the noise and vibration absorption pad installed under the fuel tank remains in a state of absorbing salt and other substances for a long time, and will undergo recall.
