SEOUL, April 10 (Korea Bizwire) — Volvo Car Korea, Mercedes-Benz Korea, Man Truck & Bus Korea and two other foreign car brands will voluntarily recall over 117,000 vehicles due to manufacturing defects, the transport ministry said Thursday.
The five companies, including Jaguar Land Rover Korea and Nissan Korea, are recalling a combined 117,925 units across 49 models sold in South Korea, according to the ministry.
Volvo will recall 95,573 units of eight models, including the XC60, due to a software error in the event data recorder that may result in driving information not being properly recorded.
Mercedes-Benz will recall 17,285 units of nine models, including the S580 4MATIC, due to insufficient durability in the brake hoses. Man Truck & Bus will recall 1,515 units across 24 models due to a defect in the central vehicle control system.
Jaguar Land Rover will take corrective measures on 1,401 units of four models, including the New Range Rover P530 LWB, due to possible moisture entry in the rear camera that may obstruct driving.
Nissan will recall 591 units of the Pathfinder due to a defective hood part, which could allow the hood to open while driving.
