New Regulations for Vehicle Recalls in Cyprus

February 3, 2025

Since 2010, there have been no regulations regarding the recall of vehicles imported from third countries without European type approval, leading to about 200,000 cars potentially being subject to recall. The Minister of Transport announced new regulations to streamline the recall process and inform owners. Some vehicles are being immobilized due to safety concerns, specifically those with Takata airbag issues. Additionally, a proposal for free bus transport for owners choosing to immobilize their vehicles has been made.
