Volvo, Toyota, Lamborghini, Bentley, and 2 Other Companies Recall 302 Vehicles Across 8 Models

[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 16th that a total of 302 vehicles across 8 models imported and sold by Volvo Cars Korea, Toyota Motor Korea, Audi Volkswagen Korea, Ford Sales Service Korea, and Giheung International have been found to have manufacturing defects and will be subject to corrective action (recall).

Among them, 181 units of the S90 imported and sold by Volvo Cars Korea are being recalled due to a defect in the assembly of the circuit board for the right-side turn signal mounted on the trunk. It was confirmed that the right turn signal does not light up when operated, and the left turn signal lights up when the right turn signal is operated, which may pose a safety risk.

64 units of the GR Supra imported and sold by Toyota Motor Korea are being recalled because the brake vacuum pump may malfunction and be damaged under certain conditions (such as immediately turning off the engine after starting), causing the brake pedal to become heavy and increasing the braking distance.

27 units of the Lamborghini Urus and 9 units of the Bentley V8 imported and sold by Audi Volkswagen Korea are also subject to recall. It was confirmed that due to defective components in the automatic locking retractor (length adjustment device) of the center seat belt (Lamborghini Urus) or the front passenger seat belt (Bentley V8), child car seats cannot be properly secured in the respective seats.

19 units of 2 models including the Explorer imported and sold by Ford Sales Service Korea are being recalled due to defective fixation of the driver’s seat side airbag, which may prevent the airbag from deploying properly in the event of a collision. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will proceed with the recall first and plans to impose fines later based on the correction rate and other factors.

2 units of 2 models including the McLaren 720S imported and sold by Giheung International are being recalled due to manufacturing defects in the banjo bolt, a connecting component between the brake hose and caliper (a device that presses the pads against the disc to apply the brakes). It was confirmed that brake oil pressure may not be transmitted to the caliper, potentially causing braking failure.

Vehicles subject to this recall can be repaired free of charge at the manufacturer’s service centers. The manufacturers will notify owners of the corrective measures via postal mail and mobile text messages. If vehicle owners have repaired the defect at their own expense before the recall, they can apply for reimbursement from the manufacturer.
