Motor vehicles 3152018 recalled tens of millions of joint-venture brands topped the list

Recall, for a mature automotive society is no longer a shadow cloth. With the maturity of the automotive industry, car recalls are common, and consumers no longer regard recalls as synonymous with "poor quality". In 2018, major domestic automobile manufacturers implemented 223 defective vehicle recalls involving more than 270 models and 12,555,529 vehicles of 80 automobile companies, with joint-venture brands as the "hardest-hit areas" for recalls. After a high recall triggered by Takata airbags in 2017, domestic car recalls have returned to normal in 2018, both in terms of the number of brands and the total number of recalls. In terms of the total number of recalls, Takata airbags accounted for more than 20 million vehicles in 2017. As the aftermath of the airbags faded, the recalls returned to normal in 2018, but still exceeded 10 million vehicles, down 37% from 2017 and up 10.7% from 2016. In the long run, the recalls are still on the rise. Among the reasons for the recall, engine problems topped the list in 2018, with 3,565,243 vehicles involved, followed by suspension problems, airbags and safety in third place, unlike the 2017 Takata airbag outbreak. In 2018, imported vehicles accounted for 8% of the recalls, the number of recalls, involving vehicles, own brand recalls accounted for 12% of the recalls, and joint venture models recalled 80%. According to the 2018 recall data, 22 recalls were carried out by proprietary brands, representing an increase of three recalls compared to 2017, with a total recall of approximately 1.537 million vehicles, also up from 2017. The change reflects how Chinese brands are dealing with problems Gradually mature, confidence in the quality of products has also improved. Recall Top Ten Manufacturers Total Quantity of Main Questions 1 GMAC-SAIC Lower Control Arm Bushing Question 33267252 FAW-VW Engine Auxiliary Coolant Pumps and Electrical Equipment Recall 11326093 Dongfeng Nissan Airbag Gas Generator and Brake Master Cylinder Oil Seals due to Inadequate Surface Lubrication 10364784 Changan Ford Takata Airbag Question and Braking Hose Problem 9042205 Honda Honda Takata Airbag Problem and Engine Oil Increase Problem 6542276 Dongfeng Honda Takata Airbag Problem and Engine Oil Increase Problem 5964117 Beijing Hyundai Engine Oil Increase Problem 4979518 Tianjin FAW Toyota Takata Airbag Problem, Headlamp beam height automatic adjustment ECU control software, torque converter and continuously variable transmission assembly 4837809 FAW sedan engine fuel system 39955410 SAIC Volkswagen sunroof ambient lamp module 303386 According to data released by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China, the number of single recalls exceeding 500,000 vehicles in 2018 was only 4 times, compared with 13 times in 2017. Top of the list are "front suspension lower control arm bushing", "airbag", "engine stall" and "increased oil". Of these, nine recalls totalling more than 1.42 million vehicles were caused by the "increased oil" problem, which triggered frequent collective complaints in the first half of 2018. In addition, the number of recalls due to "engine stall" has increased compared to 2017, and the number of recalls due to "engine stall" has increased. The total number of vehicles returned exceeded 1.61 million. In terms of recalls of major models, GMAC-SAIC announced a one-off recall of 3,326,725 vehicles in September last year, involving 14 models under the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac brands, after the State Administration of Market Supervision launched a defect investigation. The front suspension lower control arm split bushings fitted to vehicles in the recall area can deform or slip out of control when subjected to high external forces, which in extreme cases can cause the vehicle to get out of control. The problem makes GMAC-SAIC the largest manufacturer to recall in 2018. This behavior also reflects the positive attitude of enterprises in recalling vehicles with potential safety hazards. With the increasing awareness of Chinese consumers to protect their rights and the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration to strengthen the inspection of hidden dangers of automobile safety, the automobile recall has become quite normal, and more and more manufacturers have taken the initiative to report the recall to the State Administration of Market Supervision. Recall has also become one of the important ways to solve the problem, if recall can quickly solve the problem, it is more conducive to the advancement of automotive society.
