Nearly 50,000 Chevs recalled in China

Sri Lanka Source Saturday 12th May, 2012

47,000 Chevrolets have been recalled in China due to what has been described as a brake fault.

The Chevrolet Aveo from General Motors is the first of the vehicles to be ordered back for repairs.

The Chinese safety watchdog, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said in a statement that a faulty brake fluid reservoir could fail to alert a driver to low fluid levels.

General Motors, which has recently had record sales in China, is in the process of building its brand in the world's largest car market.

GM sold 227,217 vehicles in April, up 11.7 percent from the same month last year.

    Our nuclear programmes are completely transparent. But we are ready to show greater transparency and make clear for the whole world that the steps of the Islamic Republic of Iran are completely within international frameworks. The sanctions are unfair, the Iranian people are suffering, and our (nuclear) activities are legal. These sanctions are illegal and only benefit Israel.
