BEIJING - Faw-Volkswagen will recall 23 imported Audi vehicles in the Chinese mainland due to problematic airbag system, China's quality supervisor has said.

The recall, from April 10, will include the 2017 models of Audi A7, A8L and A4 allroad, according to a statement by China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

The chemical components in the gas generator are disproportionately infused, which could lead to malfunctions of the airbag system, the statement said.

The company will replace the problematic airbags for free after conducting inspections.
