Vehicles involved: some of the 2013-2017 models produced from November 22, 2012 to January 24, 2017 were imported into Ford Explorer cars, totaling 44333.

Cause of recall: due to design reasons, when the rear suspension system continues to work under high load vibration and rebound conditions, the front beam connecting arm of the rear wheel may reverse bend and lead to fatigue fracture, resulting in reduced steering control ability of the vehicle. There are hidden dangers.

No. 5: Baojun 530, 730

Involving vehicles: some 2018 Baojun 530 DCT automatic cars produced from January 15, 2018 to October 11, 2018, a total of 20406; some 2017 Baojun 730 DCT automatic cars produced from October 20, 2017 to December 24, 2018, a total of 12252.

After the water seeps into the car body, it may lead to the circuit failure of the electric tail door control unit, causing the electric tail door and electric sliding door to fail, which can only be opened manually; if the water flows into the electric tail door control unit to form a short circuit, it may also cause the module to overheat and erode, causing the vehicle to catch fire, and there is a safety hidden danger.

No. 7: Mercedes-Benz S-Class, C-Class, CLS, etc.

The vehicles involved are: (I) a total of 139 imported S-class and CLS-class vehicles produced from January 11, 2018 to September 7, 2018; and (II) a total of 4560 imported S-class vehicles produced during the period from January 28, 2017 to September 11, 2018. (III) A total of 5 imported C-class and CLS-class vehicles produced during the period from December 6, 2018 to December 18, 2018. (IV) A total of 302 imported GLE SUV and GLS SUV vehicles were produced during the period from February 29, 2016 to October 16, 2018.

The reason for the recall: (1) the software of the transmission control unit of the vehicle is not standardized, and the transmission control unit may be reset due to software errors when the vehicle is running, and the relevant fault codes cannot be stored. If the reset occurs just when the engine start-stop mode is working, the engine will not start automatically, and the engine flameout may cause the vehicle to slip away. (2) due to incorrect setting of steering control unit software parameters and possible deviation in the assembly process of steering bellows in the production plant, the detection function of hands leaving the steering wheel on some of the enhanced version of the limited distance control system (DISTRONIC PLUS) and S-class four-wheel drive vehicles with steering assistance may not meet the requirements. When there is something wrong with the detection function with both hands off the steering wheel, the steering assist function is still working no matter how long the driver takes his hands off the steering wheel. In this case, follow-up functions (including warning tips, turning off steering assistance, emergency braking) may not be triggered as expected, increasing the risk of a collision. (3) the installation bolts of the engine turbocharger return pipe and the crankcase ventilation pipe of the vehicle may be mixed. Due to the difference in bolt specifications, the pretightening force of the connection may be insufficient, which affects the tightness of the connection between the turbocharger return pipe and the bolt. in extreme cases, the risk of fire cannot be ruled out. (4) the mixed installation of exhaust catalytic converters in vehicles can not meet the relevant requirements of motor vehicle emission standards and on-board diagnosis system, which may lead to alarm of on-board diagnosis system.

No. 8: BMW M3

Vehicles involved: a total of 403 imported BMW M3 vehicles produced during the period from July 28, 2007 to October 30, 2009.

The reason for the recall: the tinned coating was used in the cable joint of the front distribution box of the vehicle due to design error, and the coating may be worn after long-term use, resulting in poor contact of the cable joint, which may lead to the failure of the vehicle to start or the failure of the electronic module. it increases the difficulty of vehicle control, and there are hidden dangers.

No. 9: Ferrari 458, 488, etc.

Vehicles involved: some of the 458 Speciale A, California T, 488 GTB and 488 Spider series vehicles manufactured during the period from 27 August 2015 to 9 January 2018 were imported, totaling 200 vehicles.

Cause of recall: due to reasons manufactured by the supplier, the airbag electronic control unit may have internal power failure, which may cause the airbag and seat belt pretensioner to be disabled, and light the airbag warning light on the dashboard; or it may cause the airbag and seat belt pretensioner to unfold and start accidentally, thus increasing the risk of injury to the occupants or the possibility of accidents in the vehicle, which may lead to safety risks.

No. 10: Audi A8L

Vehicles involved: some 2019 Audi A8L cars produced from September 26, 2018 to February 13, 2019 were imported, totaling 200.

The reason for the recall: incorrect supplier production parameters and process errors, resulting in the rivet head size of the front passenger side seat guide rail does not meet the Audi specifications. When the front part of the vehicle collides, the guide 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 front passenger injury.

11th place: president of Masarati, Geberit

Vehicles involved: a total of 14 CEO cars produced from 17 February 2014 to 7 January 2015 and 26 Geberit vehicles produced from 8 April 2014 to 28 December 2014.
