China's FAW Car Co Ltd is recalling 1,182 Besturn models over defective roof windows, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, China's quality watchdog, said Monday in a statement on its website.

A quality problem caused glass on the roof window to loosen from the metal frame, which might lead to noise and water leakage, according to the Jilin-based auto maker.

In extreme cases, roof windows could fall off causing safety risks. The sedans to be recalled were manufactured from March 5 to 30 this year.

Car dealers would carry out maintenance and replace the defective parts free of charge, and the recall started from Monday, according to the statement.
