Cyprus Road Transport Department Issues Warnings for Unsafe Vehicles

The Cyprus Road Transport Department (RTD) is issuing warnings about new lists of vehicles deemed unsuitable or dangerous, based on information from the Consumer Protection Service and the EU's Safety Gate rapid alert system. The warnings concern risks of injury, electric shock, fire, and environmental hazards, and cover various vehicle categories, including cars, motorcycles, electric bicycles, and buses. The RTD calls on manufacturers, importers, and sellers to inform the Department and recall the products, while also urging consumers to contact their suppliers and stop using specific components if possible. Consumers can submit complaints to the Consumer Protection Service if economic operators do not respond to their requests.
