The total number of recalled vehicles last year was 489,808 units, Rosstandart said.
And in 2020 and 2021, 647,561 and 325,945 vehicles were recalled, respectively.
Recall campaigns are necessary to eliminate identified design and technological defects that could cause harm to human life and health.
“Voluntary recalls by car manufacturers are a vivid example of a conscientious and responsible attitude towards car buyers and a guarantee of a car brand’s reputation,” said the delegate. head of Rosstandart Alexander Kuzmin.
The reasons for conducting service campaigns in the past year were very different, for example:
- update and, if necessary, replace the software of the AIR BAG module (105 405 – Kia Rio, Soul, Cerato);
- updating the software of the control unit of the emergency call module and the communication unit (75 396 – Volkswagen Polo);
- Check vacuum brake booster and replace if necessary (38 252 – Mercedes-Benz ML/GL, R-Class).
All defect and defect rectification work as part of recalls is completely free to owners.
Since 2022, the portal of the Rijksdienst also reports on recalls, so that car owners can now receive information more quickly.
