Embattled carmaker Volkswagen said that it will be recalling about 614 Skoda Superb III vehicles that were sold in Russia since 2015. The recall, as stated by the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology on Monday, aims to address an inherent technical fault in the vehicles' components, according to Reuters.
The Superb III vehicles were allegedly connected to the cars' T2a connector, which might cause a variety of electronic malfunctions, such as starting the car, opening the trunk lid and the operation of the indicator lights.
Once the cars have been recalled, the installation of the T2a connector will be analyzed intensively. Owners of the vehicles need not worry, however, as any problems that would come out of the cars' analysis would be fixed free of charge, reports TASS News.
The recall of Skoda Superb III vehicles is not the only issue Volkswagen is contending with, as Skoda cars are among the vehicles which are suspected of having defeat devices installed. A defeat device is a software program designed to lower the vehicle's actual emissions when it is being tested, as HNGN previously reported.
In Taiwan alone, vehicles across Volkswagen's numerous brands are set to be recalled in the coming months, with most of the cars fitted with 2.0- and 1.6-liter engines set to be fixed within the year, according to Focus Taiwan.
