The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 21st that a total of 19,298 vehicles across 16 models, including the Ford Explorer and Hyundai Motor Venue, have been found to have manufacturing defects and will undergo voluntary corrective actions (recalls).

A total of 15,180 vehicles of three models, including the Explorer imported and sold by Ford Sales Service Korea, were found to have a rear camera system error, where the rear camera screen does not display on the monitor when reversing, increasing the risk of collision with vehicles behind.

For 3,548 vehicles of two models, including the Mondeo, it was confirmed that metal fragments from internal components caused by excessive explosion pressure of the inflator during driver’s airbag deployment could potentially injure occupants.

These vehicles can be repaired free of charge at official service centers starting from the 26th.

A total of 129 vehicles of two models, including the Venue manufactured and sold by Hyundai Motor, were found to have some parts of the driver’s seatbelt adjuster detached, which could cause injury to occupants in the event of an accident.

These vehicles can be repaired free of charge at direct service centers and Blue Hands starting from the 28th.

A total of 118 vehicles of six models, including the Boxster S imported and sold by Porsche Korea, were found to have insufficient rigidity in the part that fixes the rear suspension to the body (rear axle hub carrier), which could break and cause steering failure while driving, increasing the risk of an accident.

Repairs will be available free of charge at Porsche Korea’s official service centers starting from the 22nd.

A total of 253 two-wheeled vehicles of two models, including the FORZA750 sold by Honda Korea, were found to have wiring harnesses damaged due to being pinched at the rear seat footrest mounting or luggage box mounting, which could cause the engine to stall while driving.

These vehicles can be repaired free of charge at official service centers starting from the 22nd.

Regarding this recall, each manufacturer will notify vehicle owners of the corrective measures via mail and mobile text messages. If vehicle owners have repaired the defect at their own expense before the recall, they can apply for reimbursement of the repair costs from the manufacturer.
