CHERY Auto, China's largest domestic auto manufacturer and exporter, yesterday said it would recall more than 18,000 vehicles from markets in Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina and Singapore.
Company spokesman Jin Yibo said 18,875 vehicles, including Tiggo SUVs and A3 compact sedans, would be recalled from these markets as gaskets or exhaust systems installed in these vehicles contained small amounts of asbestos, which violated rules in these countries.
The company performed inspections on all exported vehicles based on the regulations of different countries before announcing the recall, Jin said.
The inspection was carried out after Australian authorities found the cancer-causing asbestos in the two models, forcing the company to recall 23,000 vehicles in Australia starting on August 15.
As small amounts of the substance are used in the engines, it will not threaten the health of drivers or passengers, but harm maintenance personnel, experts said.
