BEIJING, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) -- Beijing Hyundai Motor Co. will recall 400,377 vehicles in the Chinese market, according to China's top quality watchdog.
The recall, set to begin on Aug. 17, will involve 400,377 Tucson models made between Aug. 17, 2015 and Sept. 18, 2018, said an online statement by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
When cars are continuously driven short distances in a low-temperature environment, oil levels of the affected vehicles may increase, leading to the illumination of engine malfunction indicator lights and even engine damage.
The automaker promised to upgrade engine control unit programs and replace the thermostat valve of the affected vehicles free of charge to eliminate safety risks, the statement said.
