National Consumer Commission urges motorists to act fast following latest vehicle recalls

JOHANNESBURG -After confirming yet another recall of certain car models, the National Consumer Commission (NCC) is urging motorists using affected vehicles to take them to their nearest dealers.

On Wednesday, cars, including some Ford Mustangs, the BMW X3 G45 series, VW Polos and the Hino 500 series buses, were flagged to have some defects that could prove dangerous to drivers.

The latest recall is the seventh one this year alone.

"We really want to urge the owners of all these vehicles and the bus to immediately contact their credited or authorised dealerships for them to carry out the necessary repair. Remember, you just need to ensure that your vehicle is not affected if you're not sure contact them and give them their VIN number and of course, where they need to repair the vehicle or replace any defective component, they will carry that or they will do that at no cost to you as a consumer," said NCC Spokesperson, Phetho Ntaba.
