SEOUL, March 24 (Yonhap) -- Hyundai Motor, BMW Korea and two other carmakers will voluntarily recall more than 400,000 vehicles in South Korea to address defective components, the transport ministry said Tuesday.
The four companies, which also include Kia and KG Mobility Corp., are recalling a combined 408,942 units across 24 models, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
