German carmaker Volkswagen has begun to recall some 5,900 vehicles in China over defective batteries.
China's quality watchdog on Tuesday said the battery nuts of those affected vehicles may become loose while driving, and be a risk to safety.
Starting from today, Volkswagen is recalling the cars and says it will replace the faulty parts free of charge.
The models being recalled include Flying Spur vehicles imported between 2012 to 2014, and Continental models, manufactured between Feb. 5, 2011 and May 15, 2014.
