Renault, France's second-largest automaker, is set to recall 2,136 units of Koleos series passenger cars in China because of steering defects, said the State Administration of Quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) Friday.
The company said the product poses a risk of injuries because the securing nut of the steering column on the gearbox may slacken at low speed when steering is turned very far in either direction. This might cause the steering column itself to disconnect, resulting in a loss of steering.
Dealers will conduct detection on the involved vehicles and fasten the securing nut free of charge. The recall will start from December 25.
