The number of vehicles recalled is 17.37 percent more than the same period last year, Chen Xitong, spokesman for the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said in a news conference.

Of all the recalled vehicles, 1.96 million vehicles were recalled after investigations from the quality watchdog and 3.28 million vehicles were recalled by domestic automakers.
