According to TOM, the recalls concern vehicles identified through the European Union’s Safety Gate system. The system issues rapid alerts for dangerous non-food products across EU member states. The affected vehicles may pose risks of injury or fire.
Obligations for manufacturers and sellers
TOM called on manufacturers, authorised representatives, distributors, importers, and sellers who have placed or may have placed these vehicles on the Cypriot market to inform the Department immediately.
These economic operators must take all necessary measures to ensure the products are withdrawn, in line with national and EU legislation.
Guidance for consumers
Consumers who own the affected vehicles or motorcycles should contact the manufacturer, official representative, or distributor for instructions. Where necessary, TOM advises owners to stop using dangerous components and return them to the point of sale, if feasible, while also notifying the seller.
If an economic operator refuses to comply with consumer rights, TOM urges consumers to submit a written complaint through the Consumer Protection Service website.
