BEIJING (Reuters) - Honda Motor Co’s vehicle sales in China fell 6 percent in June from a year earlier to 107,985 units, the company said on Tuesday.

This is the fifth straight monthly decline in sales for the company which faced a quality issue in its popular CR-V sport-utility vehicle. Honda, which has resolved the issue, saw a 15.3 percent drop in its May sales.
