AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/10 Report--

At about 6: 00 a.m. on September 6, smoke suddenly billowed from Xiuxiang Avenue, Xingning District, Nanning City, Guangxi. it turned out that a fire broke out in a 4S store. According to video posted online, smoke rose from behind BYD Zhengya Xiuxiang No. 1 store, and a number of fire engines carried out fire-fighting operations in front of the store.

According to Nanning Fire Bulletin: at about 6: 30 on July 9, a fire broke out in the maintenance workshop next to the Motor City. at present, after fire control, the fire was controlled in time and there were no casualties. However, Nanning Fire did not disclose the specific cause of the fire.

At noon on the same day, a reporter from the South Morning Post (provincial metropolis newspaper sponsored by Guangxi Daily) saw in front of Jinyun Automobile City on Xiuxiang Avenue that BYD Zhengya Xiuxiang No. 1 store was normal at the main entrance, and there were many vehicles parked in front of the store. there were several men standing at the gate of the compound. When the reporter approached, a man quickly stopped and said he could not enter. The man did not give a clear reply when asked why. Subsequently, the reporter made a detour to a wasteland covered with weeds on the left side of the motor city, and because of the enclosure, he was unable to see the internal situation, and asked the security guard of the sentry box at the other entrance of the motor city. The other side was silent about the fire, saying only that "you can't enter." the reason is that "business will be closed for two or three days." Subsequently, the reporter called the 4S store staff to ask whether the store is normal business, the other side said that the store will be closed and upgraded after two or three days, but refused to disclose more information.

In response to the accident, BYD said in response to the media: immediately after the incident to organize personnel to the scene to understand the situation, the preliminary judgment is the after-sales workshop electrical short circuit caused the fire, the specific situation needs further investigation.

However, netizens are skeptical about the cause of the fire. after all, there have been frequent fires in BYD these days. if the fire is caused by an electrical short circuit in the after-sale workshop, should the relevant fire accident identification be published?

Earlier, on April 3, a fire broke out in a BYD 4S store in Shaoguan, Guangdong, when a BYD Tang under maintenance suddenly caught fire, billowing smoke at the scene, and several firefighters and workers were rescuing it. In response to the cause of the accident, BYD responded: it was caused by the negligence and improper operation of the staff during the maintenance of the vehicle, and the detailed results are still under investigation.

BYD is one of the mainstream automobile brands in China, including dynasty series and ocean series, including Qin, Song, Yuan, Tang and Han dynasties, and marine series including dolphins, e2 and destroyers 05. On April 3, BYD announced that it would officially stop production of fuel vehicles, focusing on pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, becoming the first traditional carmaker in the world to stop selling fuel vehicles, all of which are new energy vehicles. According to the latest data, BYD sold 633777 new energy passenger vehicles in the first half of 2022, surpassing Tesla's 564743 new cars and surpassing Tesla to become the top seller of new energy vehicles in the world for the first time.

However, while BYD's new energy vehicles are selling well, there are frequent fire accidents. At the same time, after frequent accidents, BYD rarely released the cause of the accident, although so far there is no evidence to prove that BYD's products are defective, which led to the fire accident. however, the brand's "silence" of the accident has greatly increased consumers' concerns about the safety of YD's products.

According to the regulations on the recall of defective Automobile products and the measures for the implementation of the regulations on the recall of defective Automobile products, BYD Automotive Industry Co., Ltd. filed the recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration, and decided to recall 9663 Tang DM models produced from September 2, 2021 to March 14, 2022. The announcement shows that due to manufacturing reasons, the installation surface of the tray breather valve of some vehicles within the scope of the recall is uneven, and there is a risk of water intake, which may cause electrical circuit failure of the power battery system, and in extreme cases, there is a risk of thermal runaway of the power battery. In view of the above defects, BYD Automotive Industry Co., Ltd. will entrust an authorized dealer to inspect the vehicles within the recall scope, and replace the battery pack free of charge if there is leakage of the battery pack or uneven installation surface of the pallet breathable valve. To eliminate safety risks. Behind this recall accident, it is worth pondering.
