The speakers on the Jaguar XF units may cease operation and fail to voice warnings like signals indicating turns and seat belt conditions, said the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (GAQSIQ) in a notice.

The company is recalling a total of 3,754 XF units worldwide for the same problem. The recall in China will start from January 5 and involve vehicles produced between October 2007 and March 2008, said the GAQSIQ.

It said Jaguar dealers will check the car speakers' function and make reconfiguration.

More than 1.84 million vehicles were recalled in China by 54 foreign and domestic auto makers from 2004 to 2008.
