In a sweeping safety alert, major automakers Volkswagen, Volvo, and Hino have announced urgent recalls affecting several popular vehicle models due to technical faults that pose serious safety risks.
Volkswagen’s flagship hot hatch, the Golf 8 GTI, is being recalled over rearview camera failures that could impact driver visibility and increase the risk of accidents.
Volvo’s luxury XC90 SUV, particularly hybrid models, is grappling with multiple defects—including camera system malfunctions and potential fire hazards linked to battery overheating.
Meanwhile, Hino 500 truck models are also under recall, though specific technical issues have yet to be disclosed. Vehicle owners are advised to act with urgency and contact their local dealers to confirm whether their vehicles are affected.
All impacted customers are entitled to free repairs, and manufacturers stress the importance of immediate action to prevent potential road hazards or mechanical failures.
This development adds to growing concerns over the reliability of electronic and hybrid systems in modern vehicles, with regulators expected to increase scrutiny across the auto industry in response.
