You Can Check Recall Eligibility on the Car Recall Center Website

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 21st that seven vehicle models totaling 103,543 units, manufactured or imported and sold by Tesla Korea, Kia, Ford Sales Service Korea, and GM Asia Pacific Regional Headquarters, have been found to have manufacturing defects and will undergo voluntary corrective actions (recalls).

Among them, 66,489 units of four models including the Tesla Model Y will begin corrective actions from the 22nd due to a hood software error that may prevent drivers from detecting an open hood while driving, potentially compromising safety.

For 36,351 units of the Kia Pride, corrective actions have been underway since the 19th due to the possibility of fire caused by insufficient durability of the electronic control hydraulic system.

For 402 units of the Ford MKX, corrective actions will begin on the 22nd due to the possibility of extended braking distance caused by insufficient durability of the brake booster components.

For 301 units of the GM Asia Pacific Cadillac Lyriq, corrective actions will start on the 23rd due to a software error in the electronic brake control system that may cause extended braking distance under certain conditions.

Whether a vehicle is subject to recall and detailed defect information can be checked by entering the vehicle number and chassis number at the Automobile Recall Center.
