The solution is that FAW Pentium car Co., Ltd. will inspect and replace the new structure carbon tank assembly for vehicles within the scope of the recall free of charge, in order to eliminate safety risks.

It is worth mentioning that it is not the first time that Pentium X40 has been recalled. It is reported that in June 2018, FAW Group issued a recall notice: recall a total of 8620 Pentium X40 ordinary passenger cars produced during the period from October 27, 2017 to April 26, 2018.

It means that the same model has been recalled twice in a row and the number of recalls is as high as 50,000, which shows that the quality control of FAW Pentium can not help but make people doubt.

In fact, the product quality of FAW Pentium has been criticized by the industry. According to statistics, since its production in 2015, FAW Pentium has recalled as many as 210000 vehicles, accounting for 1/3 of the cumulative sales from 2015 to 2020.

Although the recall is "negative" news, it is not necessarily a bad thing, at least manufacturers dare to admit the problem and solve it in a timely manner, which is not easy in today's increasingly competitive environment in the automobile industry. However, how can frequent recalls not make people suspect that it is the cause of its products?
