AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/23 Report--

Due to the torrential rain in Guangzhou, the Guangzhou Auto Honda plant was unfortunately flooded by Rain Water, and the new car parked just off the line directly became a "bubble car." In response to the matter, Guangzhou Auto Honda responded that vehicle damage is still being counted and that these vehicles will not enter the sales channel.

From the early morning of the 21st to the 22nd, Guangzhou was hit by a sudden rainstorm, which led to a rapid rise in water levels in many places and frequent car bubbles. And from the online exposure of information, Guangzhou Auto Honda plant was also unfortunately flooded by Rain Water.

Pictures taken by netizens show that several rows of new Honda-branded cars were soaked in a parking lot in Zengcheng, Guangzhou, which seriously flooded the entire wheel hub, indicating that the stagnant water was quite serious at that time. The water-soaking models involved include Feido, colorful Intelligence, Accord new cars, as well as Acura brand new cars, and roughly estimated that there are also hundreds.

In response to this matter, Guangzhou Honda replied to the media: "on the 22nd, due to the rainstorm in Guangzhou, caused a small number of vehicle damage, is currently under statistics, the follow-up batch of vehicles will not enter the sales channel." If these vehicles meet the conditions after later repair, they will be used internally. This matter has little impact on the company, and the current production order is also advancing normally.

Guangzhou Auto Honda has three plants in Guangzhou, including Huangpu, Zengcheng and Guangzhou Development Zone, including four vehicle production lines and one engine production line. In fact, it is not the first time that the GAC Honda plant has been flooded, and the flooding at the Zengcheng plant is more serious.

On June 8, 2016, Guangzhou Auto Honda officially issued a "statement on the immersion damage of some products of Guangzhou Auto Honda". Due to the sudden rainstorm in Zengcheng District of Guangzhou City, heavy rain caused serious water accumulation in the parking lot of some products of Guangzhou Auto Honda, causing some vehicles to be soaked and damaged. GAC Honda promised that damaged vehicles would not enter the sales channel.

Therefore, it can be said that the rainstorm flooding at the Guangzhou Auto Honda plant has occurred from time to time, and it has not been effectively solved for many years.

According to industry insiders, according to the practice of GAC Honda in the past, new cars with serious damage and no repair value will be scrapped directly, while new cars with repair value will be disassembled and put on line again and replace all the parts that need to be replaced. to ensure that after repair, all performances fully meet the standards of the new car. At the same time, these cars will not flow out of the market, but will be purchased by drawing lots for factory employees, with a price discount of about 5-40%, and cannot be transferred within a limited period of time as stipulated in the contract. And the frame number of this batch of cars can be publicly inquired through the dealer channel.

It has to be said that the flooding at the GAC Honda plant is serious, which not only causes the new cars off the line to become water-soaked cars directly, but also causes other inevitable effects inside the factory, with great hidden dangers. In this regard, should Guangzhou Auto Honda consider the corresponding measures?
