BEIJING - Shanghai General Motors Co will recall 2,806 imported Cadillac CTS vehicles in China to repair faulty track bars to prevent safety risks, China's quality watchdog said on Monday.

The recall, which is set to begin on March 21, includes models that were produced between June 16, 2008 and April 20, 2009, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a statement on its website.

The statement said that the company would repair or replace the rear suspension track bars of the recalled vehicles because some nuts on the bars are likely to loosen and cause worn screw threads.

This could lead to a loosened track bar under extreme conditions, which is unsafe when traveling fast, it said.

The company is to contact car owners to provide free checks and repairs.

Owners may also contact the automaker on its free phone service (telephone number: 800-820-1902) for more information and to make appointments.
