The Road Transport Department (RTD) has recalled 8,322 Kia, Yamaha and Mercedes-Benz vehicles for inspection following defects to the structure, equipment or systems.

Its director-general, Aedy Fadly Ramli, said that the Kia vehicle involved in the recall was 5,123 units of the Rio UB 2010 to 2017 model, suspected to have the risk of a short circuit that can cause its hydraulic electronic control unit to catch fire.
