BEIJING, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- Volkswagen will recall 224 vehicles in China due to defective sunroofs, the country's top quality watchdog said on Wednesday.

The recall, set to begin on Aug. 29, affects 224 Bentley Flying Spur vehicles manufactured between April 27, 2007 and Oct. 29, 2008, according to the website of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

Sunroofs of the affected vehicles might separate from car frames when driving, posing safety risks, said the statement.

Volkswagen promised to check all the affected vehicles and replace the defective parts free of charge.
