Volkswagen AG says it will resume sales of its popular Polo small car in India after fixing defective handbrakes in about 400 models assembled in the country last month.
VW abruptly suspended deliveries last week. It later blamed the stop-sale order on the discovery that rear-wheel parking brake cable levers in affected cars could break, rendering the parking brake ineffective. The Polo is VW's most popular model in India, accounting for about two-thirds of the company's volume there.
The VW recall is unrelated to 11 million diesel-powered cars VW plans to recall in 2016 to remedy software used to cheat government emission tests.
