BEIJING, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- China FAW Group Co., a state-owned automaker based in northeast China's Jilin Province, is recalling 110,912 sport utility vehicles (SUVs) due to an engine defect. The recall affects the Besturn X40 SUVs manufactured between Sept. 26, 2016 and Aug. 31 this year, according to a statement from the State Administration of Market Regulation. The fuel pipe of those vehicles is too close to the engine pulley, which may lead to fuel leakage in extreme cases and pose the risks of fire or unintended engine stop, the administration said.

The company will replace the defective parts or offer a fix to the problem free of charge.
