The Chinese subsidary of automotive major Jaguar Land Rover said it will recall around 337 cars on rising concerns over safety issues.
According to a statement released by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, a total of 192 2012-model year versions of Evoque and Freelander, which were produced on June 11, will be recalled to fix the problems in rear brake calipers which would otherwise lead to excruciating noise while driving and brake failure.
