Two car brands have been recalled.
Three hundred and twenty-three (323) Jeep Wrangler vehicles
needs to return to its dealership, after the supplier said the dust inside the
clockspring could compromise airbag circuit(s), causing illumination of the
airbag warning light and or a non-deployment of the driver’s airbag during a
crash.
Stellantis South Africa (Pty) Ltd said the impacted
Wranglers were sold nationally during 2016 and discontinued in 2018.
COURTESY: JeepMeanwhile, various Kia vehicles has been recalled and these
include Sportage (SL, KM), Sorento (XM), Optima (TF), Cerato (TD), and Soul
(AM) models.
According to Kia South Africa, a total of 18 600 vehicles
were sold nationally between 2009 and 2015 through Kia-approved dealerships.
‘’According to the supplier, the affected models require an
ABS fuse replacement. The defect may result in the malfunction of the ABS
system, which could increase the vehicle’s stopping distance to a standstill
and, in some cases, lead to engine bay damage,’’ said the National Consumer
Commission in a statement.
Consumers who are affected by these recalls are urged to
take these recalls seriously and arrange for the necessary inspections and
repairs at any authorised dealership without delay to ensure their safety. The
necessary repair work will be carried out at no cost to the consumer.
