KUALA LUMPUR: The Road Transport Department (RTD) has announced a recall of 8,322 vehicles from three manufacturers, Kia, Yamaha and Mercedes-Benz, due to various safety defects that could pose a risk to road users. In a statement, RTD said the recall involves models with potential issues ranging from electrical short circuits to malfunctioning sensors and improperly reworked components. "The majority of affected units involve 5,123 Kia Rio UB vehicles produced between 2010 and 2017. "The model is reported to be at risk of an electrical short circuit that may lead to a fire within the circuit board of the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU)," it said. RTD also said a total of 3,167 Yamaha motorcycles are also being recalled, comprising 1,649 MT09 and 1,369 Tracer 9 GT units manufactured between November 2021 and February 2025, which are affected by faulty throttle position sensors (TPS). Another 149 units of the Tenere 700 model from 2023 to 2024 are facing clutch operation issues that can make gear shifting difficult. "Mercedes-Benz is recalling 32 vehicles from various high-end models, including the S-Class, GLC 300 4MATIC, AMG SL 43, EQS 500, AMG EQE 53 and AMG EQS 53. "The issue involves the possibility that the prefuse box may not have been reworked correctly, potentially compromising vehicle safety. The affected units were produced between 2023 and 2025," it said. The department added that all owners will be contacted by their respective vehicle manufacturers to schedule inspections and necessary replacements. "All defective components will be replaced at no cost to vehicle owners.
