AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/28 Report--

On December 25, Ford Motor (China) Co., Ltd. filed a recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration and decided to recall imported Lincoln Flider cars. According to statistics, Lincoln has been recalled six times in a year, many of which are "amateur mistakes."

According to the latest recall, 1339 imported Lincoln pilots will be recalled and manufactured between August 24, 2019 and September 30, 2019.

The vehicles within the scope of the recall may have weld cracks in the rear drive shaft produced at that time due to the overheating shutdown of the supplier's pipe welding equipment during production. After long-term use, the rear transmission shaft with weld cracks may break, resulting in accidental movement and loss of power of the vehicle; at the same time, if the rear transmission shaft is broken and deformed, it may also be separated from the transmission system and damage the fuel tank, resulting in fuel leakage. such as contact with the source of fire after fuel leakage may increase the risk of fire, resulting in safety risks. Lincoln brand authorized dealers will replace new drive shafts for vehicles free of charge.

Through the inquiry, it was found that within a year, it was the sixth recall of the Lincoln brand.

On October 23rd, some imported Lincoln Voyager cars produced from August 16, 2019 to June 17, 2020 were recalled.

The reason is that there is a problem with the software logic of the error-proof equipment on the supplier's assembly line, which leads to the absence or loosening of two of the four bolts on the end cover of the partial start-stop accumulator. The lack or loosening of the bolt on the end cover of the start-stop accumulator may lead to the leakage of gearbox oil, which may lead to the loss of vehicle transmission function; in extreme cases, the leaked gearbox oil may increase the risk of fire if it comes into contact with the source of fire. there are security risks. Lincoln authorized dealers to replace new start-stop accumulators for vehicles free of charge and check the oil level of the gearbox for a total of 4 sets.

October 14, imported Lincoln MKX, Lincoln MKZ cars were recalled, a total of 52822. Due to material reasons, the front brake hose is in a state of tension, bending or torsion for a long time under the vehicle suspension and steering motion, which causes the local cracking of the braided layer inside the front brake hose, which may eventually lead to the rupture of the outer layer of the front brake hose. The rupture of the front brake hose will lead to the gradual leakage of brake fluid, the increase of brake pedal stroke during braking and the decrease of braking efficiency, which increases the risk of vehicle collision and leads to safety risks.

October 14, 2020 imported Lincoln Flider cars recalled, a total of 6. Due to the manufacture of the seat supplier, the fasteners of the front seat side airbag module are not tightened to the correct torque. The lack of adequate fixation of the side airbag module may affect the deployment trajectory of the side airbag, resulting in the side airbag can not be deployed to the correct position or delay, thus increasing the risk of injury to the occupants in the vehicle collision.

August 18, 2016-2018 imported Lincoln MKX, 2019-2020 imported Lincoln Navigator cars recalled, a total of 4010. Because the gap between the front seat wire harness and the seat basin frame is too narrow, the edge of the seat basin frame may interfere with the seat wire harness when using the seat angle adjustment function, and in extreme cases it will cause seat wire harness wear. as a result, the front seat airbag system may not work properly.

July 31, 2020 imported Lincoln navigator car recall, a total of 9. Due to supplier manufacturing reasons, the headrest bracket of the second row left seat may not be fully welded to the seat back frame during welding, which will reduce the strength of the headrest and may not fully restrain the occupants in a vehicle crash. increase the risk of injury.

On December 27th, 2019, a total of 1351 Lincoln MKZ and 2016 Lincoln MKX cars were recalled from 2015 to 2016. Because the antirust spray is not in place, the connecting bolt of the electronic power steering housing of the vehicle may be corroded when the vehicle is exposed to a highly corrosive environment sprinkled with road snow melting agent, resulting in the steering motor loosening or detaching from the motor housing. resulting in steering loss of power, there is a safety risk.

Within nearly a year, the vehicles recalled by the Lincoln brand are all imported models, and there is no recall information for domestic models. But after all, frequent defects and recalls will affect consumers' perception of the brand and brand image.

After the listing of domestic adventurers and pilots, the pace of Lincoln's development in China was further accelerated. The latest figures show that Lincoln sold more than 7400 new cars in November, up 82% from a year earlier, and has sold more than 7, 000 for the third month in a row. However, at present, the pace of Lincoln's development in China is not stable, and there is still a big gap between brand awareness, reputation and head luxury brand, and after cutting off the car product line, its follow-up development remains to be seen.
