Engines of the vehicles to be recalled were equipped with drain valves that do not allow water to drain properly, and thus lead to possible safety problems.
At the end of February, the joint subsidiary of Volkswagen and the Chinese manufacturer First Automobile Works already announced the recall of a total of 430,388 vehicles - models Bora and Wei - due to defects in the engine.
In September 2017, Volkswagen also recalled 1.8 million cars in China due to a problem in the fuel pump control units.
