South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on Wednesday that Hyundai Motor, Kia, KG Mobility, and Toyota Motor Korea will jointly recall 532,144 vehicles across 17 models to fix a range of defects. The issues include faulty seat belts in Hyundai's Santa Fe SUV, a software glitch causing engine shutdowns in Kia's Ray compact car, a display system failure in KG Mobility's Torres SUV, and a rear door handle fault in Toyota's Prius 2WD that could allow doors to open while the vehicle is in motion. The large scale of the recall — affecting over half a million vehicles — underscores ongoing quality control pressures facing both domestic and international carmakers operating in the South Korean market.
