Toyota promised to compensate Chinese car owners over the latest recalls, the first of its kind in the country.

Toyota promised to compensate Chinese car owners over the latest recalls,  the first of its kind in the country.

The Toyota delegation led by the general manager of FAW Toyota Motor Sales Limited, a Sino-Japanese joint venture, held close-door talks with the Zhejiang Provincial Administration for Industries and Commerce. The administration demanded Toyota step up its recall of RAV4 vehecles and compensate Chinese customers.

It's China's first bureau to ask Toyota to improve its post-sale service. Toyota recalled about 75,000 RAV4 vehicles in China, nearly 10 percent of which are in Zhejiang.
