More than 500,000 Volvo vehicles have been recalled, affecting around 450 Volvos in New Zealand.
A faulty engine component in certain diesel-powered vehicles that could lead to the car catching on fire caused the recall.
The affected cars have the 2.0L, four-cylinder diesel engines made between 2014 and 2019.
The Volvo S60, S80, S90, V40, V60, V70, V90, XC60 and XC90 models are affected.
The intake manifold is made from plastic and could melt when the temperature changes, says spokesperson Stefan Elfstrom, who admitted the manifold has led to a few car fires.
The 447 New Zealand cars recalled will be repaired at no cost. Volvo New Zealand says affected owners will receive a letter asking them to contact their local dealer.
Mazda is set to recall selected Mazda CX-5s, Mazda 3s and Mazda 6s across the country, following concerns about the powertrain control module. Australia will go through a similar recall, affecting 18,719 vehicles.
A Mazda spokesperson says the repair will be carried out free of charge by Mazda dealers in Australia and New Zealand.
