According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, a total of 16,577 units across 14 models were subjected to recalls.
Kia recalled 12,949 units of two models, including the Seltos, due to a defect in the high-pressure fuel pipe that may lead to fuel leakage and increase the risk of fire.
BMW recalled 2,213 units of 11 models, including the 520i, as improperly installed components in the 48V starter-generator may cause battery charging failure. Hyundai will take corrective measures on 1,390 units of its Elec City hydrogen fuel cell buses due to inadequate design of the hydrogen discharge port cap.
