China sees September spike in auto recalls
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China (AQSIQ) issued the sixth automobile recall order of this month.
Due to a potentially faulty ABS (antilock brake system) control module, more than 14,000 Ford Mondeo and nearly 3,000 S-MAX were recalled.
This is the latest in a series of intensive recalls of both domestic and imported cars during September this year. From Sept. 6 to Sept. 18, in only 11 days, six car companies have had a total of 10 models recalled.
Models that have been recalled include the domestically-produced Chery Riich, but mainly consist of imports, such as Kia's three models, imported Wranglers, import Ferraris and imported Ford Windstars. The largest recall is Kia's Soul, involving nearly 9,300 cars.
