French carmaker Renault, which has been under the spotlight over high levels of harmful emissions, is recalling 15,000 new cars.
The move comes after tests showed emission levels from some of its vehicles were too high.
Last week, three of the firm's sites were raided by fraud investigators.
The searches led to billions of euros being wiped off its market value, after fears that it could be another scandal similar to that at Volkswagen.
Renault has promised to come up with a "technical plan" to bring down the level of emissions from its vehicles.
French Energy Minister Segolene Royal said Renault was not the only car company in France to break the rules on carbon dioxide and nitrogen emissions, but she did not name the others involved.
