This is the latest in a series of recall orders issued by the ministry to both domestic and foreign car manufacturers.
Kia Motor, Honda Motor, Citroen, Peugeot, Iveco and MAN Truck & Bus plan to recall nine different models. The models include Kia‘s Mohave SUV, Citroen’s C4 Cactus 1.6 Blue-HDi hatchback, and Honda’s CBR1000RA motorcycle, the ministry said in a statement.
