BEIJING — Hyundai recalled a number of Kia Niro models in China Monday due to a safety hazard in the brake cables, according to the country's top quality-regulator.

The recall involves 1,760 imported cars manufactured between Oct 4, 2016 and Aug 24, 2017, and was filed with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine by Hyundai Motor (China).

The car maker said the faulty brake cables may cause less effective brake pedals and cars to slide on slopes.

The recalled cars will have the problem solved by adjustments to the brake cables, while unsold cars will also be fixed.

Kia Niro, the brand's first hybrid sports utility vehicle, has seen lackluster sales in the Chinese auto market, with only 170 models sold in October, down 9 percent from a month ago, according to auto.sina.com.
