AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/28 Report--

According to the announcement, a few days ago, Lulai was entrusted to file the recall plan with the State Market Regulatory Administration, which was approved on June 27, and decided to recall a total of 4803 ES8 equipped with power batteries produced from April 2, 2018 to October 19, 2018. According to data, as of May this year, ES8 delivered a total of 17550 vehicles, and the number of recalls accounted for 27.3% of its delivery.

In less than two months, three spontaneous combustion accidents occurred in Lulai ES8, one in Xi'an, the other in Shanghai and Wuhan.

Among them, the official result of the spontaneous combustion accident in Shanghai is that the improper handling of the voltage sampling line in the NEV-P50 battery package module carried by the vehicle leads to the extrusion of the cover plate. In extreme cases, the insulation material on the surface of the voltage sampling line is likely to wear, resulting in spontaneous combustion, but this wear can not be detected by monitoring the case.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the hidden trouble, Xilai recalled part of the ES8 for its free replacement of the battery pack model NEV-P102. At the same time, all NEV-P50 module battery packs in the battery circulation system will also be replaced, and the replacement work will be completed within two months.

As can be seen from the above, the main reason for the recall is a problem with the NEV-P50 battery, which was supplied by the Ningde era.

In the afternoon of the day when the ES8 recall announcement was issued, Ningde Times also issued a statement, saying, "the investigation found that due to the interference between the battery package body of this recall and the module structure supplied by our company, there may be a risk of short circuit of low-voltage sampling harness under some extreme conditions, resulting in safety risks. The batch module uses a customized design, which is only used in the 4803 ES8 products recalled this time. "

The recalled ES8 carries NEV-P50 battery packs from April 2 to October 19, 2018, while NEV-P102 battery packs are produced after October 20, carrying ES8 and ES6, which are now being delivered, according to the recall. As the latter uses different processes, there will be no short circuit problem in the former.

According to relevant reports, not only Lulai, but also electric vehicles such as Tesla and BYD also have frequent spontaneous combustion accidents recently.

On March 18 this year, the General Administration of Market Supervision issued a notice saying that if accidents such as collisions or fires occur in the production, sale or import of new energy vehicles in China, they should immediately launch an investigation and submit the results of the analysis to the General Administration of Regulation. if they know that there are problems with power batteries, motors and other parts, they should report to the General Administration of Supervision and notify the producers, and cooperate with the investigation and recall.

Subsequently, on June 17, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice on the investigation of hidden dangers of new energy vehicles, focusing on the inspection of hidden dangers of sold vehicles, vehicle collisions, on-board power batteries, vehicle charging devices, battery boxes and vulnerable parts. The notice not only puts forward more detailed and detailed requirements for the safety inspection of private cars, but also puts forward the requirement of "should take the initiative to put on record with the competent department for recall" for the first time.

It took half a month to respond to the recall from the spontaneous combustion accident in Shanghai to the recall, and guaranteed to complete the battery replacement within two months. In the follow-up, the quality and safety of the battery will be improved, and relevant departments will be set up to coordinate the investigation of suppliers and market supervision.

There were three spontaneous combustion accidents in a short period of time, which also had a lot of negative impact on all aspects of the brand. Through active recall and active cooperation with the department's investigation, it shows confidence in new energy vehicles and consumers' trust in the brand. On the other hand, the specification can enable automobile companies to improve the safety and practicality of their products and reduce the risk borne by consumers, and automobile companies can also fully understand their own defects and deficiencies, and constantly improve and improve themselves in the future development.
