South Africa's National Consumer Commission has announced a recall of Bridgestone tyres installed on certain Ford and Volkswagen vehicles sold between October 2023 and November 2025, citing safety concerns.

The Supreme Court in Kingston has ruled in favour of ATL Automotive in a lawsuit brought by a customer who alleged that the company failed to replace a defective part in his Volkswagen Polo motor vehicle. In the ruling handed down in February, Justice Tara Carr found that while the claimant established that there was an agreement between the parties for the repair of his vehicle, he failed to show that there was a breach of the contract. Recardo Lugg filed the claim on March 13, 2019, alleging breach of contract for failure to replace a defective mechatronic with a new one.
