The National Consumer Commission (NCC) announced on Thursday that a safety recall of Renault Kwid vehicles has been made after it received a notification from Motus Vehicles Distributor.

 

According to the NCC, the recall affects 1,393 Renault Kwid five-seater passenger vehicles that were distributed and sold nationwide from 20 January 2026 onwards.

 

The supplier reportedly noted that the affected models may experience the illumination of a dashboard warning light due to sensitivity in the vehicle’s velocity calculation system.

 

In a statement, the NCC warned that if the issue is not addressed, it could affect the vehicle’s system performance and may pose a potential safety concern.

 

Motus Vehicles Distributor has indicated that there are currently no affected vehicles in consumers’ hands. The supplier will update the software on all impacted vehicles before they are released to customers.

 

“Motus Vehicles Distributor will update the software before releasing the affected vehicles.”

 

The NCC says the recall is being conducted as a precautionary measure to ensure consumer safety.
