Volvo Recalls 425 Vehicles in Cyprus Due to Airbag Issue

The Department of Road Transport in the Republic of Cyprus has announced the recall of 425 Volvo vehicles due to an issue with airbag replacement.

This recall was initiated by the automaker and communicated through the local distributor, CTC Automotive. It is important to note that this recall is not related to the recent wave of recalls involving faulty Takata airbags.

However, vehicle owners are strongly advised to follow the Ministry of Transport’s guidelines from December 2024 to avoid operating defective vehicles. If this isn’t possible, owners should take precautionary measures, such as using alternative transportation if available.

Those affected should contact CTC Automotive for further instructions and to schedule any necessary repairs.

A full list of the vehicle registration numbers impacted by the recall is available on the Department of Road Transport's official website.

In a previous announcement, the Ministry of Transport revealed that more than 80,000 vehicles had been recalled in Cyprus due to faulty Takata airbags.

According to the department’s statement:

• 276 vehicles must immediately cease operation.
• 138 vehicles have defective Takata airbags.
• Another 138 vehicles have issues with their braking systems.

For these vehicles, the MOT certificates will be canceled, meaning the vehicles cannot be used until the defects are corrected.

Owners of these affected vehicles are advised to reach out to official distributors immediately for more information about the risks and timelines for replacing the faulty parts.
