German car giant Volkswagen AG and its Chinese partners will recall 4.86 million cars in China over faulty airbags from Japanese supplier Takata Corp, the largest ever recall in the history of the world's largest automotive market.

Volkswagen Group China will recall 103,573 vehicles, FAW-Volkswagen 2.35 million vehicles and SAIC Volkswagen 2.4 million vehicles because the airbags may explode with flying metal shards under certain conditions, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a statement on Thursday.

The cars, which involve those from the Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and Seat brands, will be recalled starting from March 2018 into 2019. Volkswagen Group China said it would provide free air bag replacements for the recalled cars.
