Gasgoo.com (Shanghai May 14) - Dongfeng Yueda Kia, in accordance with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine's policies, has announced a recall of its 53,897 Sportage-R SUVs, Gasgoo.com (Chinese) reported today. The recall will target SUVs manufactured between early July 2010 and mid-October 2011.
The Sportage-Rs (pictured) being recalled are suspected to have a flaw with their brake pedals. When the flaw occurs, the ESP warning display on the dashboard will light up. The flaw may hinder the vehicles one-button start feature or cruise control, or may prevent it from shifting gears. All of these flaws pose a potential safety risk. Dongfeng Yueda Kia will contact owners of affected vehicles via its dealership network to schedule appointments for free repair and maintenance.
