Seoul, Aug 21 (IANS) Kia, Tesla and two other carmakers will voluntarily recall more than 100,000 vehicles due to faulty components, the transport ministry here said on Wednesday.
The four companies, including Ford Motor and GM Asia Pacific Regional Headquarters are recalling a combined 103,543 units of seven different models, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said in a statement, reports Yonhap news agency.
The problems that prompted the recall include faulty hood software in Tesla’s Model Y, lack of durability in the hydraulic electric control unit of Kia’s Pride compact, a faulty brake booster in Ford’s Lincoln MKX SUV and software problems in the electronic brake control module of GM’s Cadillac Lyriq all-electric sedan, it said.
Vehicle owners can check the government’s homepage at www.car.go.kr or call 080-357-2500 to see if their vehicles are subject to the recall, the ministry said.
Earlier this month, BMW Korea, Hyundai Motor and two other carmakers voluntarily recalled more than 172,000 vehicles due to faulty components. The four companies, also including Kia and KGM Commercial, recalled 172,976 units of 103 different models.

Last month, Kia, Nissan Korea and three other carmakers voluntarily recalled more than 1,56,000 vehicles due to faulty components. The five companies, also including Hyundai Motor Co., Porsche Korea and Toyota Motor Korea Co., will recall 1,56,740 units of 32 different models.
