Kia recalls Sportage SUVs in China on switch fault

Published: 28 Sep 2009 18:26:06 PST

Shanghai, September 28 (Gasgoo.com) South Korean automaker Kia Motors Corp. today started to recall 235 imported Sportage SUVs in the Chinese market due to the vehicle's stop lamp switch fault, China's quality watchdog announced yesterday, xinhuanet.com reported.

The Kia Sportage SUVs now listed for recall were produced by Kia Motors between September 20, 2006 and October 26, 2006, and 235 units of them were sold as imported vehicles in mainland China.

These vehicles should be recalled because a component of their stop lamp switch cannot meet the design standard and therefore the lamp often works badly or cannot work at all, which may cause vehicle accidents, said the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
