Volvo XC60 and 4 Other Brands Recall Over 70,000 Vehicles Due to Low Speedometer Display

On the 15th, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced that a total of 79,078 units across 33 models imported and sold by Volvo Cars Korea, Polestar Automotive Korea, Mercedes-Benz Korea, Jaguar Land Rover Korea, and Honda Korea were found to have manufacturing defects and will undergo voluntary corrective actions (recalls).

Among them, 58,165 units of 9 models including the XC60 imported and sold by Volvo Cars Korea, and 2,410 units of 2 models including the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor imported and sold by Polestar Automotive Korea were found to have safety standard non-compliance due to an error in the instrument cluster software, which caused the vehicle speed displayed on the instrument cluster to be lower than the actual vehicle speed. The importers will first carry out voluntary corrective actions (recalls), and later, considering the correction rate, fines will be imposed.

These vehicles can receive free repairs (software updates) at official service centers of Volvo Cars Korea and Polestar Automotive Korea starting from September 16.

For 5,599 units of 6 models including the Mercedes-AMG GT 43 4MATIC+ imported and sold by Mercedes-Benz Korea, it was confirmed that poor connection of the transmission wiring connector could loosen due to vehicle vibrations, and if rainwater or other moisture enters the connector during driving, there is a possibility of fire caused by electrical short circuit.

Mercedes-AMG GT 43 4MATIC+

For 3,974 units of 10 models including the A 220 Hatch from the same company (including pre-sale units), interference between the fuel supply hose and the intake pipe could damage the fuel supply hose, potentially causing fuel leakage and posing a safety risk.

For 126 units of the EQB 300 4MATIC (including pre-sale units), it was confirmed that the reported vehicle specifications (length and wheelbase) did not meet the actual vehicle specifications, resulting in safety standard non-compliance. The importer will first carry out voluntary corrective actions (recalls), and later, considering the correction rate, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to impose fines.

Repairs (inspection and repair, specification correction) for 6 models including the Mercedes-AMG GT 43 4MATIC+ and 10 models including the A 220 Hatch will be available free of charge at official Mercedes-Benz Korea service centers starting September 16, and for the EQB 300 4MATIC starting September 26.

GL1800

For 639 units of 3 motorcycle models including the GL1800 imported and sold by Honda Korea, it was confirmed that an error in the engine control unit (ECU) software caused intermittent data collisions that reset the start-maintaining software, potentially causing the engine ignition and fuel supply to malfunction and the engine to stall while driving.

These vehicles can receive free repairs (software updates) at official Honda Korea service centers starting September 23.

Regarding this defect correction, each manufacturer will notify vehicle owners of the correction methods 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.
