Renault Samsung Motors Co., the South Korean unit of French automaker Renault S.A., will recall 62,000 units to rectify faulty sensors, South Korea's Environment Ministry said Sunday.

The recall -- set to begin Monday -- came more than a month after the carmaker submitted a plan to the ministry to replace coolant temperature sensors and oxygen sensors in its cars.
