GERMAN auto giant Volkswagen said on Thursday it was
recalling 2.6 million cars worldwide due to technical problems affecting
various models.The problems range from faulty lighting, leaky
engine fuel lines and a possible malfunction when synthetic oil is used in its
gear box, a spokesman said.
The recall is one of the biggest in the company's
history.
It includes 800,000 of its compact Tiguan
sports-utility vehicle which could be affected by faulty fuses that can trip
lighting circuits.
Volkswagen also said it was recalling its 2-litre
Amarok pickup truck because of leaky engine fuel lines, which affects around
239,000 vehicles.
VW issued a separate recall in China for around
640,000 vehicles that were locally produced or imported between January 2009
and June 2013.
The recall comes after the country's quality
watchdog identified a problem with the DO200 gearbox, which may suffer
electronic malfunction when synthetic oil is used.
