Kia recalls over 33,000 Rio cars in Russia for ABS fix

South Africa’s National Consumer Commission has ordered the recall of more than 25,000 Volkswagen Polo Vivo cars over a handbrake defect, while Kia is recalling over 33,000 Rio cars in Russia to replace a faulty anti-lock braking system component. The recalls affect tens of thousands of drivers in both countries, who must visit dealers to fix safety-related braking problems. Regulators and manufacturers are acting to reduce accident risks linked to these defects and to limit legal and financial fallout.
