Daimler Recalls Vehicles in China

German automaker Daimler AG is recalling about 3,108 Viano and Vito vehicles in China. The recall, issued Monday, is for problems with the air bag, brake system and spare wheels, said the country's quality watchdog in Beijing on Tuesday.

In a filing to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (GAQSIQ), the automaker said 255 Viano and Vito vehicles, produced from June 24, 2008 to Oct 15, 2008, had air bags made of substandard nylon and this may cause malfunction.

There were 47 vehicles, produced from May 28, 2008 to June 27, 2008, with parking brake cable defects. On another 2,806 vehicles, produced from Nov 2003 to Apr 2008, the spare wheel could fall off.

The automaker said it would replace defected components for free. Neither the GAQSIQ nor Daimler AG reported any accidents caused by the defects.
