German auto giant Mercedes-Benz is recalling more than half a million cars in China due to a technical defect.
The Chinese market regulation authority said on Friday that the company has presented a recall plan which is due to take effect from November 27.
The affected cars have an issue with their wheel speed sensors’ resistance to moisture.
Prolonged use in hot and humid conditions could result in malfunctions and impact the cars’ electronic stability control and anti-lock braking systems (ABS).
A Mercedes spokesman confirmed the recall. According to the Chinese authority, the vehicles affected include almost 250,000 imported cars of the A-Class, B-Class, CLA and GLA models produced between August 30, 2011 and April 3, 2019.
Also affected were around 280,000 GLA models manufactured in China between March 13, 2014 and October 12, 2019.
The recall comes just a day after Mercedes-Benz lowered its earnings forecast for 2024, citing weak business in China.
