The China ventures of Ford Motor (F.N) and Hyundai Motor will recall a total of 151,397 locally made cars to fix defects, the companies said on Tuesday.

Ford said in a statement that its venture in central China was recalling 52,838 Focus sedans -- its best-selling model in the country -- made between June 17, 2005, and July 30, 2006, due to potential problems with the fuel pump.

A Beijing Hyundai official said it would recall 98,559 Elantra and Sonata cars to fix problems with the ignition system. The cars were made between Oct 1, 2004, and March 22, 2005.

The companies did not reveal the cost of the recalls.
