The recall covers nearly 600,000 vehicles made in China between 2005 and 2017 and more than 750,000 imported vehicles made between 2003 and 2018, the Chinese State Administration for Market Regulation said.

A small number of vehicles in the recall may have Takata inflators if the owner changed the steering wheel, the Chinese regulatory body said. The inflator can explode when the airbag deploys, sending fragments into the car and injuring the occupants, it said. U.S. regulators said last month that BMW would recall more than 390,000 vehicles because the original steering wheel may have been replaced with a sport or M-sport steering wheel equipped with a Takata inflator.in the U.S. earlier this week not to drive them because they have Takata airbag inflators. The vehicles were built between 2003 and 2015.

Laura Woods, the British television presenter for Discovery+ and TNT Sports, has revealed that she received death threats after questioning boxer Imane Khelif’s participation in the Olympics. The seasoned sports presenter posted her support on X/Twitter for a Daily Telegraph article, which posited that Khelif’s fights “tarnished” the Olympics and endangered other athletes.
