Subaru to recall over 14,000 SUVs in China

Japanese carmaker Subaru will recall more than 14,000 sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in China over flaws in their electronic parking brake (EPB) systems, the country's quality watchdog said today.
The recall, starting on April 13, involves 14,802 imported Outback models produced between October 3, 2014 and August 31, 2015, according to a statement from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
The faulty systems may damage brake motors, making the cars unable to be restarted, the administration was quoted as saying by state-run Xinhua news agency.
Subaru will notify all affected customers and upgrade their EPB systems for free, according to the statement.
