Shanghai GM, a joint venture with General Motors, is recalling
7,056 Buick cars in China due to front brake problems, China's top
quality watchdog said.
Involved are some of the Buick LaCrosse sedans made between
March 10, 2006 and March 22, 2007.
"The problem may cause vehicle vibrations in a minority of
cases, affecting manipulation and comfort," the General
Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine
said.
Shanghai GM will contact the buyers and repair the problematic
parts free of charge.
Shanghai GM, the Detroit-based automaker's venture with Shanghai
Automotive Industry Corp., China's biggest carmakers, also produces
the Cadillac and Chevrolet cars.
The joint venture was China's No. 1 passenger vehicle producers
last year, with sales of 413,400.
