The defection with radio software would lead to radio malfunction after CD ejection. It would also cause continuous running of radio after auto engine stops working, which would exhaust auto battery and result in failure in starting engines.

Authorized service centers will contact owners by letter to arrange software upgrading after the recall was launched Friday, according to the statement.
