The recall involves the models Fiat Bravo 198 MT and 198 MTA that were imported in 2008 and 2011, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a statement on its website.

The statement said the cars were produced between March 20, 2008, and November 8, 2010.

Fiat said the linker between rear brake-caliper frame and floating caliper could rupture.
