Porsche Cayenne and 10 Other Models Recalled for 23,986 Units
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 6th that a total of 23,986 units of 11 vehicle models imported and sold by Porsche Korea, Honda Korea, Mercedes-Benz Korea, Ford Sales Service Korea, and Bike Korea have been found to have manufacturing defects and will undergo voluntary corrective actions (recalls).
A total of 14,759 units of 2 models, including the Porsche Korea Cayenne, were found to have a software error in the instrument cluster, causing the automatic display identification code for brake system failure to be non-compliant with safety standards.
A total of 5,047 units of 3 models, including the Accord HEV imported and sold by Honda Korea, will undergo voluntary corrective actions due to a defect in the seatbelt buckle fastening part, where the release button does not operate smoothly.
A total of 3,901 units of 3 models, including the Mercedes-AMG G63 imported and sold by Mercedes-Benz Korea, were investigated to have damage to the front brake wiring bundle caused by friction with the auxiliary oil cooler, resulting in the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and other functions not operating properly.
A total of 137 units of the Ranger Wildtrak imported and sold by Ford Sales Service Korea did not display fault signals when the rear-side blind spot warning system malfunctioned due to a software setting error in the instrument cluster.
A total of 142 units of 2 motorcycle models, including the Triumph Bonneville T120 Black imported and sold by Bike Korea, showed cracks due to insufficient durability of the front brake vibration damping device. As a result, bolts securing the brake disc may loosen due to vibration, potentially causing brake failure.
Vehicles subject to recall can receive free repairs at the official service centers of each manufacturer and seller. If repairs were made at the owner's expense, compensation can be requested from the manufacturer.
