Shanghai GM recalls 22,508 Cruze cars

Shanghai General Motors has decided to recall 22,508 2015 Chevrolet Cruze cars due to defective vacuum boosters, according to China's top quality watchdog.

The recall involves vehicles manufactured from April 16, 2014 to Dec. 12, 2014, said the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

Long-time use of the boosters could result in cracks on the shell and pose potential safety hazards, the watchdog said.

Shanghai General Motors has offered to replace the defective parts free of charge.
