AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/02 Report--

According to the summary of the announcement of the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration, in October 2020, the domestic automobile market issued 24 batches of recall notices, involving 23 brands, a total of 144600 defective vehicles were recalled, down 87.89% from the same period last year.

A number of car brands recalled for the first time

From the perspective of the recalled brands, the recall of pure electric models has made a breakthrough compared with the past. Polar Star, Tesla, Zero run and Weima all appeared on the recall list. A total of 53741 pure electric passenger vehicles were recalled by the four brands in the domestic market. Except Tesla, all other brands are recalled for the first time.

Hangzhou Changjiang passenger car Co., Ltd. announced on October 10 that it will recall 2019 models of zero running S01 produced from June 27, 2019 to December 31, 2019 because of the lag screen of the panoramic image card and the black screen of the dashboard. In fact, the above recall issues have long been reported by car owners to manufacturers, but manufacturers have not responded, and this is also a mandatory recall under the defect investigation of the AQSIQ.

On October 16th, the Polar Star Automobile sales Co., Ltd. decided to recall 110 Polestar 2 models from now on because of internal logic problems in the power battery energy control module (BECM) software, which may cause the electronic control unit to be reset intermittently, causing the vehicle to lose power while driving.

Tesla Automobile (Beijing) Co., Ltd. has decided to recall a total of 29834 Model S and Model X models, according to the official website of the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration on October 23rd. The suspension components within the recall range may have a hidden danger of fracture when they undergo a larger external impact, and Tesla will replace the improved suspension connecting rod to eliminate safety risks.

The recall is Tesla's largest recall, but Tesla does not agree that the recall is due to quality problems. "there is no need for a recall because there is no defect in the vehicle suspension," Tesla said in the relevant documents. "the damage is not a quality problem, but is caused by improper use by the car owner."

Weimar, a new car-building force, was also on the recall list in October. Three fires at Weimar in October caused widespread concern. Weima decided to recall 1282 2020 Weima electric vehicles because the battery suppliers mixed with impurities in the production process, resulting in abnormal lithium precipitation of power batteries. in extreme cases, it may lead to a short circuit of the battery, causing the power battery to heat out of control and the risk of fire.

Fuel pump problems may still be in the period of recall.

Since the beginning of this year, affected by fuel pump failures produced by Japanese Denso companies, including Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi and other Japanese brands, more than 1.3 million vehicles have been recalled in China so far, and this number is still growing.

After a number of car companies announced the recall, China first Automobile Group Co., Ltd. announced on October 14 that it will recall 16792 domestic Mazda 6 Atez produced from September 20, 2018 to August 8, 2019, a total of 16792 vehicles, starting from October 30, 2019. The reasons for the recall are basically the same as the recall of Anksella and CX-8 in September by Changan Mazda, both due to insufficient density of internal impellers (resin) in the core of the low-pressure fuel pump. Causing the vehicle to fail to start or the engine to stall while the vehicle is running.

The fuel pump problem has had a huge impact on a number of car brands, similar to the recall of Takata airbags. The Takata airbag recall has a wide impact, on the one hand, because of Takata Group's decisive position in the airbag market, and on the other hand, because it brings fatal serious quality defects.

At present, the relevant recall data on fuel pumps are still in the explosive period. On Oct. 28, Toyota announced a further recall of 2.66 million defective vehicles, including 42 models such as NOAH and AVALON, including North America, Japan, Europe and China. Toyota has expanded the recall of fuel pump defects to 5.84 million vehicles, which means that the same failure could lead to a recall of more than 7 million vehicles worldwide, and Toyota will further expand the recall in China in November if not unexpectedly.
