The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has recalled over 300 Hyundai Tucson NX4 N-Line vehicles due to safety concerns.
The NCC was notified of this recall by the manufacturer, Hyundai Automotive South Africa.
According to the spokesperson for the NCC, Pheto Ntaba, the recall affects 337 vehicles sold across South Africa in 2023.
“According to the supplier, the impacted vehicles may have an issue relating to the Forward Collision Avoidance (FCA) system. Some vehicles might be experiencing unintended emergency braking due to FCA-sensitive operation. This may create a safety risk for vehicle occupants and other road users and could increase the likelihood of a collision,” Ntaba said.
Owners of the affected vehicles are requested to contact their nearest Hyundai dealership to arrange for the front camera software update.
“The corrective action will be carried out free of charge. Questions and queries relating to this recall may be directed to: [email protected],” Ntaba said.
Last week, the NCC also recalled select 2022 to 2026 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models.
This comes after a manufacturing defect was identified in the panoramic roof side finishers, which may not have been properly secured during factory rework.
The NCC said the faulty adhesion could cause the trim to loosen or detach over time, posing a potential risk to road users.
The NCC warned that the part could come loose gradually or detach completely, potentially distracting drivers or endangering pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, and increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
