These are the latest in a series of recalls by carmakers operating in South Korea due to problems with vehicle components.
The four companies, including Renault Samsung Motors Corp. and Yamaha Sports Korea, are recalling a combined 49,246 units of 21 different models, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said in a statement.
The problems include software problems in the steering wheel system in Renault Samsung's XM3 SUV, software problems in the airbag control system in Audi's A4 40 TFSI Premium sedan, and the faulty oil cooler system in Honda's CBR1000RR-R SP two wheeler, it said.
