Audi Q7 cars to be recalled in Vietnam

German automobile manufacturer Audi AG will, on Nov. 1, start recalling 215 Audi Q7 cars in Vietnam to fix their third row benches, local media reported on Thursday.

The affected Audi Q7 models in the Vietnamese market are cars produced between Jan. 2015 and July 2016. They will be repaired free of charge.

In the first nine months of this year, 214,398 automobiles of various kinds, including cars, were sold in the Vietnamese market, up 31 percent on-year, according to the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers' Association. Endit
