AutoJoshNG:
South Korea has ordered Hyundai Motors and Kia Motors to recall 240,000 vehicles over safety defects reported by a whistleblower Kim Gwang-Ho. Gwang-Ho is a Hyundai engineer with 26 years at the company.

Prosecutors in Seoul will also investigate the car companies whether they deliberately covered up the 5 flaws which affected 12 models. Although, Hyundai and Kia are arguing that the problems does not present any danger to driving safety.

This will be the first whistleblower case to hit South Korea's auto industry, Kim reported 32 problems to local regulators. However, the latest recall covers only five of those problems. Kim also travelled to United States last year to report safety lapses which led to the automaker recalling 1.5 million vehicles in North America and in South Korea over a defect that could cause engines to stall.

Eim Eun-young who is a Samsung Securities auto analyst, said
"What the whistleblower said turned out to be true. This is negative for Hyundai's brand image after the hit from the recall over engine issue last month. But then, its reputation is already seen at the rock bottom in South Korea, so I am not sure whether there is a room for a further fall."

LoL.. How do you expect steel to finish when the wholes is blessed with iron ores (such hematite, magnetite, etc) from which molten pig iron (through a blast furnace) can be produced and subsequently converted to steel or cast iron?

How do you expect it to finish when steel can be recycled through an electric arc furnace and used to re-produce engineering raw materials?

Do you even know that as metals corrode, they are being converted to their original (ore) form which will eventually accumulate as ores to be mined several years into the future?

I can keep going on and on but make I stop for here.. cheesy

The ones that got imported to Nigeria are never finding their way back.
Recall doesn't mean the cars have to be returned to the manufacturer. If the cause of the problem is a faulty sensor... then the dealer has to notify the owners as to where and when to go to have the sensor changed. That's how it should work.
