Some Lexus models, made between June 2014 and December 2016, have problems with their braking software, China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said on its website.

The notice urged consumers to immediately contact dealers for inspection and said current stock vehicles will be sold in the absence of defects.
