French auto maker PSA Peugeot Citroen is recalling 68 cars sold
in China because of gearbox flaws, China's quality watchdog said on
Wednesday.
The cars, all manufactured in France last year, include 34
Peugeot 206CC convertibles made between Feb. 2 and Feb. 27 and 34
Citroen C5R sedans (2.0 liters) produced between Jan. 30 and March
3.
The French auto giant will replace the torque converters and
heat exchangers free of charge, the General Administration of
Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said.
Earlier this month, the Chinese joint venture between the French
auto maker Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroen Auto Co., recalled 5,609 of its
206 automatics for the same problems.
Recalled were Chinese-made 206 models produced between Jan. 22
and July 5 2006.
