The National Consumer Commission has announced a safety recall involving Renault Kwid cars in South Africa, after a notification from importer Motus Vehicle Distributor.

The recall affects 1,393 units distributed and sold nationwide from January 20.

According to Motus, the affected vehicles may experience the illumination of a dashboard warning light caused by sensitivity in the vehicle’s velocity calculation system. If the issue is not addressed, it could affect system performance and may present a potential safety risk.

Motus has confirmed that none of the affected vehicles have been delivered to customers. The required software update will be carried out before the vehicles are released to consumers.
