AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/22 Report--

When it comes to car-building technology, many people will think of Germany, which has always been based on high quality, which is respected by the Chinese people, but it is precisely because of this that the quality of German technology seems to be much lower than it used to be under the stimulation of capital.

Nearly 10,000 German cars, involving Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, were recalled on the same day, according to a recall message issued by the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration on July 19.

It is understood that a large proportion of the cars recalled on the same day were imported, most of which were due to leakage and short circuit problems. Volkswagen recalled 9644 imported 2017-2019 Matway cars produced during the period from April 29, 2016 to April 26, 2019.

Mercedes-Benz imported C-class and CLS-class cars are also recalled because the installation bolts of the engine turbocharger return pipe and crankcase ventilation pipe may be mixed and spontaneous combustion may occur.

Audi recalled 2019 imported Audi A8L from September 26, 2018 to February 13, 2019. The specific reason is that the rivet head size of the front passenger side seat guide rail does not meet Audi's specifications, and when the vehicle collides, the guide rail bracket of the front passenger side seat may be separated from the rivets, which will affect the seat and seat belt system to maintain the passenger position and increase the risk of injury to the front passenger. There are security risks.

I have to say, the car-building technology of German cars is really not as good as it used to be. no matter it is a minor problem or a big problem, the recall seems to have German cars. Take Mercedes-Benz as an example, on July 15, Mercedes-Benz recalled 4699 S-class and CLS-class models due to possible deviations in the software of the transmission control unit and the assembly process of steering bellows.

Further to April, after Mercedes-Benz experienced the throttle leak of a new car in China, public opinion about Mercedes-Benz continued, which led to a setback in Mercedes-Benz's performance, and Mercedes-Benz "evaporated" 13.7 billion yuan between one or two.

Of course, Mercedes-Benz is not the only one with problems. The Volkswagen emissions incident also took four years before it was gradually forgotten. During this period, Volkswagen showed that its share price in Frank plummeted, and then the company's executives were forced to reshuffle, making Volkswagen controversial for some time.

Through the above recall incident, German craftsmanship, which used to be proud of by Chinese consumers, has gradually become "unworthy of its name." while independent brands focusing on China have not been developed for a long time, but the technology has also advanced by leaps and bounds. I hope that in the era of rapid development, its quality can also be gradually improved.
