Recall of 1,651 Vehicles by Four Companies Including Xyle Daewoo, Daimler, Benz, and Kawasaki

[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 2nd that a total of 1,651 vehicles across 15 models manufactured or imported and sold by Xyle Daewoo Bus, Daimler Truck Korea, Mercedes-Benz Korea, and Daejeon Machinery Industry have been found to have manufacturing defects and will undergo corrective action (recall).

A total of 1,368 vehicles across 4 models including the BX212, manufactured and sold by Xyle Daewoo Bus, were found to have a risk of hose damage due to interference between the low-pressure fuel hose and the fixing device. If the hose is damaged, fuel may leak and cause a fire, leading to the recall.

Two models including the Sprinter 319, imported and sold by Daimler Truck Korea, totaling 162 vehicles, were confirmed to have poor fastening of the steering wheel oil hose. This may cause oil leakage and improper steering, increasing the risk of accidents.

Additionally, 2 Arocs vehicles are being recalled because the safety ring on the fire extinguisher operation handle was not secured.

Nine vehicles across 2 models including the S 350 D, imported and sold by Mercedes-Benz Korea, have a risk of fire caused by a short circuit due to poor contact in the power supply wiring inside the fuse box.

Six vehicles across 4 models including the S 580 4MATIC have poor fixation of the rear seat center headrest, which may fail to properly protect occupants in the event of a collision, leading to a recall.

Ninety-five motorcycles across 4 models including the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE+, imported and sold by Daejeon Machinery Industry, have a risk of bearing damage due to insufficient lubricant in the rear wheel axle bearing, which may cause the rear wheel to not rotate properly.

Nine Kawasaki ZX-10R motorcycles were found to have poor fastening of the engine oil pressure control device (relief valve), which may cause improper engine lubrication and engine stalling.

Vehicles subject to this recall can receive free repairs at the service centers of the manufacturers and sellers.
