Renault is recalling 10 649 Zoe electric cars to remove the potential risk of rupture to brake fluid hoses.

The vehicles were built between the car's launch in 2012 and Oct. 6, 2014 at the company's Flins factory, near Paris. A total of 42,300 Zoe cars have been built.

A Renault spokesman said the carmaker was preventively checking the position of certain brake hoses and replacing them if necessary, adding that it had not been notified of any accidents relating to the fault.
