A total of 1,560 vehicles across three Volvo models, featuring the XC60, are being recalled starting this Friday because of potential fires triggered by faulty drive batteries.
On Friday, Mercedes-Benz Korea plans to initiate a recall for 17,285 vehicles across nine different models, such as the S580 4MATIC, because there are worries about potential leaks of brake fluid stemming from inadequate resilience of the brake lines.
MAN Truck & Bus Korea has initiated a recall for 1,515 vehicles across 24 different models, such as the TGX Tractor. This action was taken because an overload in the central vehicle control unit might lead to the transmission shifting inadvertently from Drive (D) to Neutral (N). The recall process started on April 1st.
Starting Monday, Jaguar Land Rover Korea plans to recall 1,401 units across four different models, such as the New Range Rover P530 LWB, because water might seep into the rearview camera, potentially causing the display function to fail.
