Cyprus Department of Road Transport issues safety warnings for several vehicle models

The Cyprus Department of Road Transport has issued a formal notice following information from the Consumer Protection Service regarding dangerous motor vehicles and components identified between the 37th and 39th weeks of 2026. These products were flagged through the European Union's Safety Gate, a rapid alert system for non-food dangerous goods.

The affected list includes models from major manufacturers such as Ford, BMW, Jeep, Land Rover, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Kia, Dodge, Cadillac, and Renault Trucks. Additionally, motorcycles from BMW Motorrad, BRP Can-Am, Rewaco, and Hengjian were also reported as potentially hazardous. The Department requires all manufacturers, representatives, distributors, importers, and retailers—including online and distance sellers operating within the Republic of Cyprus—to verify if these products have been placed on the local market.

Economic operators are strictly mandated to report the presence of any affected vehicles to the Department of Road Transport. Furthermore, if these products are found in the Cypriot market, the relevant stakeholders must take immediate and necessary actions to ensure the formal recall of the vehicles to prevent safety risks to consumers.
