GENERAL Motors Corp yesterday announced it will recall 2,065 imported Chevrolet Captiva sport-utility vehicles in China to fix defects in the steering system.
The affected vehicles were made by GM's South Korean unit, Daewoo, between September 18 and December 31, 2007.
GM said the connection between the steering column and the steering intermediate shaft on the affected SUVs may loosen, and under some extreme conditions, affect the handling of the car.
The recall, which started yesterday, will run till the end of October. GM said so far no accident or casualties have been reported in China yet and the solution was to re-connect the two parts.
China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said yesterday that it has suspended imports of all Chevrolet Captiva SUVs made by GM Daewoo.
It added it also has started inspections of all vehicles made by the company that are imported into China.
The top quality watchdog also warned drivers of Captiva to contact dealerships if they have any questions regarding safety. Captiva, which entered the Chinese mainland in late 2007, marked GM's first foray into the rapidly growing SUV market on the mainland.
