Tesla, Hyundai, Ford, Nissan, Kia, Honda, etc.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) will initiate a recall (voluntary corrective action) after discovering issues in some Tesla models where the Autopilot warnings are not properly sent and a defect that causes the door lock function to be released during collisions.

On the 4th, MOLIT announced that defects were found in 72,674 vehicles across 13 models manufactured or imported and sold by Tesla Korea, Hyundai Motor Company, Ford Sales Service Korea, Nissan Korea, Kia, and Honda Korea, prompting a recall.

The Tesla models found to have defects in the vehicle door lock control device are the Model X and Model S. The vehicles that do not meet safety standards were produced between April 4 and October 20 of last year, totaling 1,992 units. Corrective measures will begin on the 5th.

Additionally, 63,991 vehicles across four Tesla models?Model Y, Model 3, Model X, and Model S?are subject to recall due to insufficient warning sounds and messages provided to drivers when using Autopilot, which could compromise safety.

Hyundai Motor Company's G80 and GV70 models were found to have manufacturing defects in the drive shaft that transmits power to the rear wheels. Due to welding defects in the drive shaft, there is a risk of breakage or reduced power transmission function, which could cause the vehicle to stop while driving. The recall will begin on the 4th. The G80 recall covers 1,554 vehicles produced between June 4 and November 27, 2021, and the GV70 recall covers 2,463 vehicles produced between February 14 and July 4, 2022.

Kia's Seltos, totaling 922 units, exhibited defects in the curtain airbag inflator, a device that releases gas via electrical signals to inflate the airbag. Internal gas leakage may cause abnormal deployment, potentially compromising safety. The recall will start on the 10th for vehicles produced between April 3 and June 12 of last year.

Ford Mustang, totaling 2,156 units, is subject to recall starting on the 10th due to a brake fluid sensor software error that prevents the warning light from functioning properly when brake fluid is low, making it non-compliant with safety standards. The recall covers 2,154 vehicles produced between August 6, 2019, and April 3 of last year.

Two Nissan Altima models, Altima 2.0 and Altima 2.5, have defects where the rearview camera screen does not display. A wiring design error in the rearview camera causes damage to the wiring due to vehicle vibrations during operation. The recall has been underway since the 2nd for 1,101 vehicles. Honda Odyssey (49 units) has a defect due to manufacturing faults in the engine's internal crankshaft, causing bearing damage and the possibility of the vehicle stopping while driving. The recall will begin on the 12th.

To check whether your vehicle is subject to recall and to confirm specific defect details, you can enter your vehicle number and chassis number at the Automobile Recall Center.

Regarding the recall, vehicle manufacturers will notify vehicle owners of the corrective measures via postal mail and mobile text messages. If the vehicle owner has repaired the defect at their own expense before the corrective action, they may apply for reimbursement of the repair costs from the manufacturer.
