Web China: Luxury foreign cars running over Chinese trust (4)

(Xinhua)

09:24, December 14, 2012

This is not the first time Chinese customers have been treated unfairly by foreign auto makers.

Japanese auto giant Toyota recalled more than 10 million units globally in 2009 and 2010, while it withdrew only less than 100,000 units from China, one of its largest overseas markets.

Another Japanese auto maker Honda announced on Wednesday that it will recall 871,000 cars with ignition device flaws globally, mainly from the U.S. but none from China.

The U.S. launched an investigation into Toyota in 2010 when the company was mired in a design flaw scandal and fined the Japanese auto maker heavily.

The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, China's quality watchdog, said last month that it would formulate a guideline to regulate a recalling system for faulty cars.

"Changyibandege" posted in his Weibo that "It's time for us to support home brands".
