Warning: Popular car models recalled due to major internal defects
- Replies 4
Members, if you drive a KIA Sorento or Honda CR-V and Civic, you need to pay close attention to this article - this is a serious safety concern.
The Federal Government's Department of Transport recently issued a recall notice for 2020-2022 MQ4 KIA Sorento vehicles. This affects 8,555 cars in total, so it's important to check if your model is among them.
What's the issue?
The issue stems from production issues, potentially causing a crack to develop in the circuit board of the transmission electric oil pump (EOP). As a result, the electric oil pump can fail, causing the vehicle to lose its drive power, break down, and seriously increase the risk of a crash.
It's an alarming development, and owners are now being advised to immediately contact a KIA dealer to have the transmission software updated.
'If the EOP fails, hydraulic pressure will be lost, and the vehicle may lose drive, thereby increasing the risk of an accident resulting in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users,' the recall notice says.

The words of caution come after another similar car recall warning this week, in which 5,000+ Honda CR-V and Civic 2021-2022 models were recalled.
In this case, it was due to the window tint that may have been applied incorrectly, resulting in reduced visibility and increased risk of a crash.
If you have an impacted Honda, then you must get in touch with the Honda Customer Care Team, who will contact you by mail and will guide you through the removal of the wrongly applied window tint and the refund process.

Members, the main takeaway from these recall announcements is the importance of being up-to-date with the latest models and parts from your favourite car company. Don't wait until it's too late!
Also, be sure to check your contact details with your car manufacturer and dealer in case you need to be notified of any recalls that might affect your car.
