China on Wednesday imposed a ban on the imports of two types of Isuzu automobiles from Japan after detecting a flawed design in their steering system that may be a hidden factor for accidents.

According to a circular issued jointly by the Chinese State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and State Regulatory Commission of Certification and Accreditation on Wednesday, the border inspection and quarantine bureau of south China's Guangdong Province has found that the steering systems of some of the Isuzu CXH50S and CXH50T automobiles cannot function smoothly, failing to measure up to the safety requirements.

Check-ups and experts' analysis have confirmed that there are problems in the design of the two types of vehicles, which can be a hidden factor leading to trouble, the circular said.

In addition to imposing an import ban, the circular also ordered the quality inspection and quarantine departments across the country to stop handling these two types of Isuzu automobiles.

The circular also asked the drivers of the types of automobiles to have the car checked up immediately so as to avoid any possible accident.

The circular also urged the Japanese producers of the automobiles to take measures as soon as possible to fix the flaw.
