GAC Changfeng Motor Co., Ltd. will recall 9,644 vehicles in China over faulty airbags, said the country's top quality supervisor Thursday.
The affected vehicles were Pajero V73 models manufactured between Nov. 25, 2010 and Dec. 28, 2011, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) said in a statement.
Due to a problem with the airbag's propellant, inflators in the front airbags could rupture when the airbags deploy and broken parts may hurt passengers, the statement said.
The company will replace the defective parts free of charge starting Nov. 9.
