The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said that 2,056 vehicles, produced between July 17 and Sept 5, would be involved.

A company statement said improper anti-rust oil was used in the engine, which may obstruct heat dissipation for water tank under extreme circumstances, and lead to engine overheating.

The manufacturer will, from Tuesday on, check and clean defective parts for free. Owners can dial the company's hotline for consultation, or log on the GAQSIQ website for more information.
