The NCC has sent out another recall bulletin, this time affecting the Range Rover Evoque and a few Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Here’s the latest.
The National Consumer Commission (NCC) issued a recall to owners of the Range Rover Evoque and a number of Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Range Rover Evoque
Jaguar Land Rover confirmed a recall of the Range Rover Evoque from the 2021-2024 model years as well as specific derivatives of the 2025 Evoque. The recall centers around the passenger airbag. The supplier says, “he airbag may tear during deployment as a result of improper folding during the airbag assembly process. A torn airbag may reduce occupant protection and increase the risk of injury in a crash. Additionally, a torn airbag could allow hot gases to escape, potentially causing burns to occupants.”
Mercedes-Benz Models
There are a number of Mercedes-Benz vehicles due for recall. The W232 SL cabriolet, all-electric W297 EQS, W254-generation GLC SUV, W223 S-Class limousine and W206 C-Class sedan sold in 2023 are affected by a fuse box. The supplier says “the fuse box might not have been reworked as intended; as a result, systems connected to the fuse might fail. The vehicle might lose power without prior warning, restraint functions or the instrument cluster might be impaired, increasing the risk of an accident. In addition, the risk of a thermal event cannot be ruled out”
What’s Next?
“Affected consumers are urged to immediately contact any nearest authorised dealership of these motor vehicles to have the defect repaired at no charge”, said Acting Commissioner, Mr. Hardin Ratshisusu.
