China’s quality watchdog announced on Friday that Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile (DPCA), a Sino-French joint venture, will start a recall of 162,913 cars from Saturday. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, stated this on Friday in Beijing. “The C-Quatre, Peugeot 307 and Peugeot 408 were produced between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30 in 2011. Unqualified multifunctional valves may crack and cause fuel to leak during driving,’’ the statement said. It said that the DPCA would replace the flawed parts for free.
