Faulty Brakes See Subaru Recall Exports To China

JAPANESE automaker Subaru will recall 7,133 vehicles exported to China due to defects in the brake system master cylinders, China's quality watchdog said.

The cars to be recalled include Legacy models produced from September 21 to November 15, 2011 and Outback models produced from November 29 to December 19, 2011, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine said. Subaru China will replace the cylinders, the statement said.

This comes after the AQSIQ warned last week of safety risks due to design flaws in the master cylinders of imported Subaru Legacy and Outback vehicles produced by Japanese automaker Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. The problem increases the stopping distance, increasing the potential for accidents, the AQSIQ noted.
