When the airbag is deployed, the gas generator may be abnormally damaged, causing debris to fly out and injuring people in the car. BMW has recalled more than 360000 vehicles on the issue of Takata airbags.

In addition, fluctuations in the manufacturing process of the fuel tank and insufficient fault tolerance in design may lead to cracking of the processing cover plate on the upper part of the fuel tank after being used for a period of time, resulting in fuel leakage when the vehicle is full of fuel. BMW filed with the State Market Supervision and Administration, recalling some brilliance BMW 316i, 316Li, 318i, 318Li, 320i, 320Li, 328i, 328Li, 330i, 330Li, 335Li manufactured during the period from April 22, 2011 to July 31, 2016.

In the field of new energy vehicles, battery safety has become one of the most worried issues for consumers. It is understood that Tesla has occurred spontaneous combustion incidents many times in China, but Tesla has not yet filed a recall with the Market Supervision and Administration in 2019. It is understood that Tesla occurred spontaneous combustion incidents in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Hong Kong respectively, and it is suspected that the failure of the battery pack caused the spontaneous combustion. Tesla said that "there are no defects in the distribution system" and said that "it is preliminarily determined that the individual accident was caused by a single battery module failure located in the front of the vehicle."

Compared with Tesla, NIO is not so lucky. Forced by three spontaneous combustions in two months, Xilai announced a recall of 4803 ES8 vehicles in June, becoming the first automaker among the new car-building forces to recall.

Great attention is paid to the safety of new energy vehicles. In October this year, the quality Development Bureau of the General Administration of Market Supervision issued a notice requiring that if a smoke or fire accident occurs in a new energy vehicle, the producer shall report the basic information of the accident within 12 hours after the accident; after the fire accident of the new energy vehicle, the producer shall take the initiative to check whether there is a fire safety hazard in the same model and batch; if the vehicle is out of control or accidental acceleration, the producer shall report the accident in time.

In addition, a new version of the automobile three-guarantee law is also about to be introduced. According to he Xing, director of the three guarantees Department of the National defective Product Management Center, the new version of the automobile three guarantees policy is being revised, mainly aimed at new energy vehicles, return and replacement conditions, and the amount of punishment. The power battery and motor of the new energy vehicle are expected to be included in the main system of the family car alongside the engine and transmission. If these two major components fail, you can also enjoy free replacement of the assembly.
