A
potential defect in the steering column could lead the air bag
to deploy improperly in certain imported VW vehicles, the
General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and
Quarantine (AQSIQ) said in a statement on its website.
A Volkswagen spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.
The recall includes certain imported Tiguan, Golf, Magotan,
Scirocco and other models, produced between 2009 and 2014.
Volkswagen (China) Sales Co Ltd must take provisional measures
to ensure driver safety in the meantime and determine its recall
plan as soon as possible, the statement said.
