Among them, vehicles from Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis accounted for the vast majority, covering 11 models and nearly 510,000 units.

It was found that software design flaws in the forward collision-avoidance assist systems of 104,000 Tucson and Tucson Hybrid vehicles could cause malfunctions and increase the risk of accidents.

Controller design defects were discovered in 168,000 Grandeur and Avante Hybrid vehicles, posing a potential fire hazard.

Seven models from Genesis, Hyundai, and Kia were also found to have a risk of fuel leakage and fires due to improperly tightened engine component nuts.

In addition, 3,135 Jeep Cherokee and Honda Odyssey vehicles are being recalled due to defects in their power train systems and rear-view cameras.

Vehicle owners can check whether their vehicles are subject to the recall by entering their license plate or vehicle identification number on the Korea Automobile Recall Center website.
