AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/17 Report--
German Mercedes-Benz manufacturing disappointed consumers again, and Mercedes-Benz announced another low-level mistake today. Mercedes-Benz brand said that some Mercedes-Benz vehicles "brakes" were installed incorrectly, and the brakes installed by the original factory did not meet the specifications. Only in 2020, Mercedes-Benz brand due to assembly errors, operation errors caused by vehicle hidden problems have appeared many times. As a world-renowned luxury car brand, such frequent low-level mistakes are indeed very rare in the industry.
On April 17, Mercedes-Benz (China) Automobile sales Co., Ltd. filed the recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration in accordance with the requirements of the regulations on the recall of defective Automobile products and the measures for the implementation of the regulations on the recall of defective Automobile products. Recall some imported Mercedes-Benz S-Class cars because the vehicles were installed with the wrong brakes before leaving the factory.
In the recall notice, Mercedes-Benz said that due to production deviation, the front axle of Mercedes-Benz S-Class vehicles may have installed incorrect "brakes", including brake discs, brake calipers and brake pads. In this case, the vehicle may not meet the certification specifications of the corresponding model, and there are potential safety risks.
Due to the different dimensions of brake disc, brake caliper and brake disc, abnormal wear and brake failure may occur, which is a great threat to driving safety.
The Mercedes-Benz recall, which will begin on April 30, 2020, involves 131 imported Mercedes-Benz S-Class cars manufactured between April 9, 2018 and May 9, 2018. Mercedes-Benz will replace the correct size of the front axle brake (including brake disc, brake caliper and brake disc) for the affected vehicle free of charge.
In fact, there have been many low-level mistakes like Mercedes-Benz, which have surprised Chinese consumers so frequently. So many production mistakes also confirm that there are problems in the manufacturing process of Mercedes-Benz.
The new car will be recalled as soon as it goes on sale. On January 10, 2020, Mercedes-Benz announced a recall of the domestic GLB model because the wire harness under the second row of seats may not be routed in accordance with the specifications, affecting the normal operation of the airbags on the side of the second row of seats, the early warning of seat belts, and the warning of seat locking, there are hidden dangers. It is worth noting that at that time, the domestic Mercedes-Benz GLB went on the market for just over a month before the recall was announced.
The airbag warning label is installed incorrectly. On March 20, 2020, Mercedes-Benz China filed the recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration, and decided to recall 4884 imported C-Class and GLC SUV cars produced from July 24, 2018 to November 26, 2018 from April 2, 2020. Due to the deviation in the production process of this part of the vehicle, the airbag warning label of the incorrect country may be installed on the front passenger side sunshade. The legend on the label indicating the correct use of the child seat and the accompanying explanation may not contain Chinese and do not meet the requirements of the relevant national mandatory standards. The solution is to replace the visor (including warning labels).
Low-level errors flooded tens of thousands of cars, and Mercedes-Benz recalled previously "recalled" vehicles. On March 27, 2020, Mercedes-Benz announced a recall of 77607 domestic C-class four-wheel drive, E-class four-wheel drive and GLC SUV vehicles produced from October 18, 2016 to April 13, 2018.
In the course of carrying out the recall and maintenance work of "Beijing Mercedes-Benz Co., Ltd. recalls some C-Class, E-Class and GLC SUV vehicles" issued on March 12, 2019, or failing to replace the steering rack thrust parts in full accordance with the operation instructions, the steering bellows may be improperly sealed. Water may enter the steering bellows, resulting in steering system corrosion, resulting in electronic steering power system failure; if a large amount of water enters the steering system, the possibility of electronic steering power system decommissioning can not be ruled out, which will increase the risk of vehicle collision.
Production problems caused the skylight to fly out. On April 17, 2020, Mercedes-Benz announced the recall of some old imported C-Class, CLK-Class, CLS-Class and E-Class cars, totaling 1622 and 1622, as well as the old domestic E-Class cars. The reason is that the bonding between the glass panels of the vehicle sliding skylight and the skylight frame may not conform to the specifications, in which case the performance of the bonding may gradually diminish over time, unable to ensure the specific durability requirements of the bonding, causing the skylight panels to be separated from the vehicle, increasing the risk of accidents or injury to other road users.
Another source pointed out that Beijing Mercedes-Benz's first domestic AMG A 35L model, there was a situation in which the engine pipes were "reversed" in some new vehicles, which led to abnormal water temperature control of the vehicle and loud noise from the water tank fan, which affected the daily use of the vehicle. At the same time, serious cases could even lead to engine damage. A person familiar with the matter told the media that some vehicles with related problems had been sold, and the manufacturer informed the car owner to return to the store for maintenance through an undisclosed form.
In addition, in 2019, Mercedes-Benz brand also had problems such as "missed installation of active brake auxiliary system", "mixed bolts of engine components" and "wrong installation of catalytic converter", and even led to a consumer complaint and claim case.
According to the data, China is the largest single market for Mercedes-Benz brand sales. Mercedes-Benz sold 139000 new cars in China in the first quarter of this year, down 20.3% from the same period last year, outperforming BMW 116452 and Audi 113033, ranking first in luxury brand sales.
A series of low-level mistakes made by the luxury brand Mercedes-Benz will only make people laugh. With such a rigorous and mature process in the automobile manufacturing industry, low-level mistakes should not appear in this century-old luxury brand.
