CHINA CNR Corp, the nation's No.2 train maker, said today that it will recall a certain type of bullet trains that have seen a series of breakdowns amid the country's latest campaign to ensure railway safety.
Changchun Railway Vehicles Co, a subsidiary of CNR, will recall 54 trains with model number CRH380BL that are now in service, the Shanghai-listed parent company said in an exchange filing.
A thorough check will be conducted on these trains to see whether they need to be overhauled, the statement said. They won't be returned to users until operation safety is guaranteed, the company said.
The recall just came after the Ministry of Railways early this week ordered the Changchun company to halt production. The firm has reportedly made about one-fourth of the trains currently running along the Shanghai-Beijing High-speed Railway.
Media reports have said that trains with model number CRH380BL saw most of the breakdowns. Nearly 40 breakdowns have been reported since late June.
China's central government yesterday ordered high-speed rails to run at slower speeds and called for thorough checks on all high-speed lines, following the bullet train crash in Wenzhou last month that killed 40 people.
