South Korea's transport ministry announced that six automakers, including Hyundai Motor, BYD Korea, Mercedes-Benz Korea, Volvo, Jaguar Land Rover Korea and Stellantis Korea, will voluntarily recall 146,505 vehicles across 38 models to fix defects affecting instrument clusters, seat belt warnings, steering systems, airbags and fuel pumps, aiming to improve vehicle safety.

Seoul: Hyundai Motor, BYD Korea, Mercedes-Benz Korea and three other automakers will voluntarily recall more than 146,000 vehicles in South Korea to fix defective components, the transport ministry said on Thursday.

The six companies, which also include Volvo Car Korea, Jaguar Land Rover Korea and Stellantis Korea, will recall a combined 146,505 vehicles across 38 models, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Hyundai Motor will recall 54,792 units across two models, including the Tucson, after software errors in the instrument cluster control system were found to cause the display to flicker or shut off, reports Yonhap news agency.

Chinese automaker BYD will bring in 18,091 units across six models, including the SEALION 7, because the seat belt reminder warning may be obscured by other notifications.
