Russia's AvtoVAZ may recall 10,000 cars - sources

MOSCOW, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Russia's flagship car maker AvtoVAZ may recall 10,000 vehicles due to an engine defect, two sources told Reuters on Friday.

AvotVAZ, 25 percent owned by France's Renault, said earlier this week it sold 517,147 of its iconic Lada cars last year - an increase of 48 percent on 2009.
