British carmaker Land Rover will recall 356 Discovery 3s in China for a
faulty bleeding pipe in the vehicle's fuel tank, said sources with the
State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine
(SAQSIQ) on Wednesday.

Land Rover will replace the fuel tanks with new ones free of charge for
the 365 cross-country vehicles that were produced between May 3 and
September 28, 2005.

Those which were produced after September 28, 2005 do not have the
problem, said the SAQSIQ.

In 2005, 104 Discovery 3s, produced between July 1, 2004 to April 30,
2005, were recalled in China for the same problem.

Meanwhile, DaimlerChrysler decided to recall 29 Vianos in the country due
to a problem that may cause fuel leakages.

None of the 29 minivans, produced between October 4 to 18, 2006, were
sold and the German-US carmaker will recall them from distributors.
