China Economic Network Beijing, August 15th (reporter, Liu Peng) Recently, the State Regulation for Market Regulation issued three recall announcements, including Subaru’s partial import of Aohu, Lion, XV series cars, Ford’s partial import of Lincoln Navigator cars, Volvo’s partial import of FH tractors, a total of 45,388 vehicles.
Subaru Automotive (China) Co., Ltd. is recalling some imported Aohu, Lishi, and XV series vehicles
Since October 10, 2022, some imported Aohu, Lishi, and XV series vehicles have been recalled, totaling 42,551 vehicles. The specific recalled models are as follows:
From October 3, 2014 to September 14, 2017, some imported 2015-2017 Aohu series cars totaled 33,564 vehicles; from September 11, 2015 to September 8, 2017, some imported 2016-2017 Lion series cars totaled 3,177 vehicles; from August 9, 2017 to August 10, 2018, some imported 2018 XV series cars totaled 5,810 vehicles.
It is reported that some vehicles within the scope of this recall are prone to moisture absorption due to the material of the wiring harness joints of the electronic parking brake adapter. The joints may be cracked and loose due to the corrosion of snow melting agents, resulting in the lighting of the brake alarm light and the failure of the electronic parking brake to start or release, which poses a safety hazard.
Subaru Automotive (China) Co., Ltd. will inspect the electronic parking brake adapter wiring harness connector for vehicles within the scope of the recall, and if the recalled parts are installed, additional fixed clamps will be installed free of charge to eliminate safety hazards.
Emergency response method: When the electronic parking brake cannot be activated or released, the user can keep the vehicle stopped by hanging the P gear, and contact the nearest authorized dealer to inspect and deal with the vehicle.
Ford Motor (China) Co., Ltd. is recalling some imported Lincoln Navigator vehicles
From October 12, 2022, a total of 2,833 imported 2021 Lincoln Navigator vehicles manufactured between November 18, 2020 and August 31, 2021 will be recalled.
It is understood that some vehicles within the scope of this recall are not fully covered by the printed circuit board vias in the battery junction box, which may cause corrosion of the circuit board under the action of pollutants and water, resulting in short circuit overheating and fire risk.
Ford Motor (China) Co., Ltd. will commission Lincoln brand authorized dealers to inspect the battery junction box for signs of melting free of charge for vehicles within the scope of the recall, replace the battery junction box free of charge if any, and install a relay box with jumpers to eliminate safety hazards.
Emergency response measures: Until the recall repair is completed, the affected vehicle should be parked in an open area without other vehicles. If the above conditions are not met, the user should contact the dealer, who can arrange on-site service to help disconnect the vehicle’s negative battery cable and secure it.
Volvo (China) Investment Co., Ltd. recalls some imported FH tractors
From now on, some imported 2021 Volvo FH tractors produced between May 5, 2021 and May 18, 2021 will be recalled, totaling four vehicles.
It is reported that some vehicles within the scope of this recall are not properly installed due to the exhaust gas collector clamp between the engine turbocharger and the composite turbine, resulting in high-temperature exhaust gas leakage during engine operation, causing the right steering wheel parking brake pipe to overheat. In extreme cases, the parking brake pipe will leak due to overheating, and the right steering wheel parking brake may be abnormally applied when the vehicle is running, resulting in accidents and potential safety hazards. At the same time, the leaked high-temperature exhaust gas is directly discharged into the atmosphere, which also poses emission hazards.
Volvo (China) Investment Co., Ltd. will conduct a free exhaust leak inspection of the compound turbine area of the recalled vehicles through authorized dealers. If there is an exhaust leak, the corresponding parts will be replaced according to the location of the leak; and the vehicle will be equipped with a parking brake line protective cover to eliminate safety hazards and unreasonable emissions.
