Volkswagen will recall 5,462 vehicles due to defective sunroofs, China's quality watchdog said on Wednesday.
The recall, set to begin on July 20, affects 623 imported Phaeton sedans manufactured between April 26, 2007 and June 17, 2008, and 4,839 imported Audi A8L vehicles produced between May 3, 2007 and June 18, 2008, according to a statement from China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
Parts of the sunroofs do not adhere to frames tightly, and may fall off when driving.
Volkswagen will check all the affected vehicles and replace defective parts free of charge.
