Japanese automobile producer Isuzuon Thursday submitted to China's State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine a letter expressing agreement on coping with the security flaws in two types of Isuzu vehicles sold in China.

This move follows a ban China started to impose on Feb. 25 on the import of two types of Isuzu automobiles from Japan with designing flaws detected in their steering systems that may be a hidden factor for accidents.

According to the administration, the border inspection and quarantine bureau of south China's Guangdong Province had found that the steering systems of some of the Isuzu CXH50S and CXH50T automobiles could not 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, according to the administration.

The letter said Isuzu "does not have any disagreement with the administration on the security flaws and the preventive measures that have been taken."

In addition, Isuzu will take up active measures to resolve the problems under the guidance of the administration in accordance with Chinese law.

Along with the letter, Isuzu also provided documents on how to fix the security flaws in the automobiles.
