AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/28 Report--
Great Wall Automobile Co., Ltd. filed the recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration on August 28th, and decided to recall a total of 71319 Great Wall artillery vehicles produced from September 24, 2019 to August 9, 2020.
The reason for the recall is that the vehicle within the recall range cannot serve as a sufficient warning because the vehicle operating instructions do not fully indicate the danger that the trailer hook may bring under special use scenarios, and there is the possibility of misuse in emergency situations. In extreme use cases, trailer hook fracture may occur, resulting in safety risks.
In view of the above product defects, Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd. will replace the new version of the electronic operating instructions for the vehicles within the scope of the recall and affix a warning label with a trailer hook in a conspicuous position on the body to clearly indicate the danger and avoid misuse. at the same time, the technical service of the trailer hook will be upgraded free of charge to eliminate safety risks.
Earlier this month, the news that the Great Wall cannon broke through Harvard H9 with a broken trailer hook attracted industry attention, which made many netizens question its product design.
It is reported that Harvard H9 tied the trailer rope to the trailer hook at the rear and front of the two vehicles while rescuing a Great Wall gun trapped in a small dirt slope. However, in the moment of acceleration of the Harvard H9, the trailer hook of the Great Wall gun was directly "pulled off", and the trailer hook smashed directly into the Harvard H9 like a shell, resulting in a broken front windshield, a broken rear windshield and a broken roof.
Some netizens questioned the design of the trailer hook of the Great Wall Cannon. From the pictures provided by netizens, the beam of the Great Wall gun is 90 °perpendicular to the trailer hook, and the trailer hook is welded directly to the beam. This structural design is obviously different from the hard off-road vehicles, which often have at least 16mm cow-nose bolts directly connected to the beam.
Subsequently, Great Wall Motor issued an emergency statement saying that the Great Wall Gun did not fully take into account the special use scenarios of users, aiming at the problem of trailer hook fracture caused by the towing of vehicles under extreme operating conditions. the company is working out an enhanced upgrade plan for the trailer hooks of vehicles that have been sold, sold and produced. After the upgrade plan is completed this month, users will be informed of the free enhanced upgrade for the sold vehicles and the simultaneous upgrade for the vehicles on sale. And promise a free lifetime warranty for trailer hooks.
At present, Great Wall Motor has worked out a plan to deal with the product defects and will recall the model from September 1, replacing the new version of the electronic instruction manual and attaching trailer hooks to conspicuous parts of the car to warn consumers. At the same time, the manufacturer will also upgrade the technical service of the trailer hook in order to eliminate the hidden dangers of safety. as for what kind of technology to upgrade the trailer hook, it is still unknown.
The data show that the Great Wall Cannon is a pickup model of Great Wall Motors, which will be officially listed at the Chengdu Auto Show in 2019, with a price range of 12.68 yuan to 159800 yuan. the new car is based on the special platform of Great Wall P71 pickup and has three product directions: commercial pickup, passenger pickup and cross-country pickup.
Due to certain advantages in power and price, Great Wall Cannon has been sought after by the market after its listing. According to the data, the cumulative sales of Great Wall artillery models were 18299 in 2019 and 45106 in the first half of 2020. The Great Wall recalled 71319 Great Wall cannons, almost all sales since its launch.
