Volkswagen, the German carmaker, will recall almost 50,000 vehicles in China due to the brake problems when using it in cruise control. The company will recall Beetles made between 1st July 2012 and 6th August 2016 and Golfs made between 1st July 2012 and 6th July 2013. This news has been posted on the official website of China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (ASDIQ).
A problem with noise filters may cause difficulty with braking when the vehicles are for a long time on cruise control that may create a “hidden safety risk”, reported ASDIQ.
Volkswagen China has advised the affected car owners to stop using the cruise control system and that they will fix the brake booster for free, the report said.
Previously, Volkswagen has been under scanner too when it was revealed that the company had installed software on 11 million cars that allowed them to defeat emissions tests.

My need for speed began at a very early age and I realised this as soon as I got my first bicycle at the age of 8. When all the other kids would break downhill I would pedal harder just to go faster and enjoy the thrill. Adding to my interest for speed, I grew engrossed in the working mechanics of two wheelers thanks to my father as he is a hydraulic mechanic and would take me along with him on his repair sessions. Eventually I became familiar with the tools and basic technical concepts of two wheelers.Super sport and sport tourers are more of my liking and the sparks to these flames were ignited the first time I experienced the maddening power of a Yamaha YZF R1. I was just 14 years old at the time and got to ride as a pillion with an older acquaintance. This one short ride influenced my every decision in terms of the bikes I want to own. As of today I’m 26 years old and a proud owner of a Yamaha Fz15 version 2.0 and a Kawasaki Ninja 650 2014 model having clocked a decent 30k Kms only while touring, waiting to clock 1000s more as riding makes me feel whole again after enduring the dismal routines of life.
