Faulty Brake-Fluid Reservoir Drives Recall of 47,000 Chevrolets in China
China's industrial quality watchdog Friday ordered the recall of more than 47,000 Chevrolet cars due to a faulty brake fluid reservoir.
The recall concerns Chevrolet Aveo sedans made this year, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a notice on its website.
The agency said the alarm system built into the brake fluid reservoir may fail to give the driver a timely warning that fluid levels are low.
General Motors (IW 500/5) said it saw record sales in China in April, despite a broader slowdown in the world's biggest car market.
GM sold 227,217 vehicles in April, up 11.7% from the same month last year, it said in a statement. GM also registered a sales record for the month of March.
For the first four months of the year, GM's China sales rose 9.4% year-on-year to 972,369 units.
China is the world's largest auto market after overtaking the United States in 2009.
