The cars, which were produced between March 15, 2002 and January 19, 2004, will be recalled as of June 4, said the administration on its website.

The agency's statement said brakes on these cars could fail, due to a design flaw in the circuit brake system, and shock and noise absorption plate.

The company said it would defuse the shock and noise absorption plate on baseboards and replace the brake system.
