Toyota Motor is recalling 19,529 imported Lexus vehicles in China over defective engines, the country's top quality watchdog today said.

The Japanese carmaker will recall these vehicles produced between 7 July 2015 and 5 April 2016, according to a statement on the website of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (GAQSIQ).

The recall comes a month after Toyota recalled 15,322 imported Lexus vehicles over defective brake actuators.

The GAQSIQ said that programs controlling exhaust gas re-circulation valves may fail in the affected vehicles and may cause the engines to stop.

Toyota will check and update the programs free of charge.
