Volvo, Honda, Hyundai vehicles recalled in Peru over safety defects

Peru's National Institute for the Defense of Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property (Indecopi) has issued three new consumer alerts affecting vehicles from Volvo, Honda, and Hyundai. These alerts highlight potential defects that could compromise occupant safety.

The recalls encompass a total of 36 vehicles manufactured in various years and countries. For Volvo, 27 units of the XC40 model are affected due to a potential overheating issue with the high-voltage battery when fully charged, increasing the risk of a safety failure. Owners can contact Maquinaria Nacional S.A.C. Perú at 966 450 387 for information.

Honda del Perú S.A. is recalling six Honda Pilot SUVs from the 2019 and 2021 model years. Cracks in passenger seat sensors could lead to the unintended deployment of airbags, posing an injury risk. Affected owners can reach Honda at 0 800 28000 or servicioalcliente@honda.com.pe.

Automotores Gildemeister Perú S.A.C. is recalling three Hyundai Genesis G90 vehicles. A component in the seatbelt system may deform with use, potentially reducing its protective function during an accident. Inquiries can be directed to (01) 613-7777 or atencioncliente@gildemeister.pe. Indecopi encourages consumers to report potentially hazardous products through its alert system.
