BEIJING - Toyota Motor China Investment Co Ltd will recall 2,801 imported Lexus vehicles in China because of malfunctioning anti-lock braking systems (ABS), according to the quality watchdog.

The recall involves Lexus NX 200 and NX 200t models manufactured between Dec 18, 2014 and Feb 3, 2015, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a statement.

Should the ABS fail there is a risk of safety issues, said the statement.
