German carmaker Volkswagen and its joint venture in China FAW-Volkswagen will recall 5,869 cars due to problems with fuel pumps.
The recall, which starts on July 8, involves eight imported Golf Variant produced in June last year, 512 imported Audi A3 40TFSI, made between December 2013 and March last year, 4,377 Golf A7 1.4T, manufactured between April and June last year, as well as 972 Audi A3 35TFSI made between April and July last year, a notice by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said.
Some of the above-mentioned cars might have abnormal or disfunctioning fuel pumps, which might cause inability to start the cars or, under some extreme circumstances, lead to the flameout, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
The company will contact clients and replace the flawed parts free of charge.
