CHONGQING -- Honda Motor will resume sales of its CR-V sport utility vehicle in China after local authorities approved a revised recall plan.

Recalls will begin May 22 as the automaker prepares to restart sales of the flagship CR-Vs. About 130,000 units produced by Chinese venture Dongfeng Honda Automobile between February 2017 and February 2018 are subject to the recall. The vehicles had been flagged for concerns over engine issues that could be triggered by a combination of factors including low temperatures.
