Are Genuine Auto Parts Not Covered by Warranty?

Genuine auto parts are covered by warranty, but there is a warranty period. The following are supplementary materials regarding the automobile three-guarantee policy: 1. "Regulations on the Repair, Replacement, and Return of Household Automobile Products": According to Article 12, Chapter 3 of the "Regulations on the Repair, Replacement, and Return of Household Automobile Products" (Order No. 150 issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine), sellers of household automobile products must comply with the following requirements: clearly indicate the repair network information, including the name, address, and contact number of the repairer agreed upon by the manufacturer. However, consumers have the right to independently choose a repairer from the provided network, and sellers cannot impose restrictions. 2. "Consumer Rights Protection Law": According to Article 9, Chapter 2 of the "Consumer Rights Protection Law," consumers have the right to independently choose goods or services. This means that car owners have the right to compare, evaluate, and select, and independently choose the repairer that best suits their needs during maintenance and repairs. 3. "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Transformation and Upgrading of the Automobile Repair Industry and Improving Service Quality": Automobile manufacturers and their authorized sales and repair enterprises must not abuse automobile warranty clauses.

Should I Replace the Tire If There's a Small Nick on the Sidewall?

Yes, you should replace the tire if there's a small nick on the sidewall. The sidewall is the weakest part of a tire, and once a piece of rubber is chipped off, it may have damaged the sidewall's cord layers, posing risks of air leakage or a blowout. Below are solutions for various tire-related issues: If the tire is worn: Tires have tread wear indicators, which are slightly raised marks located at the bottom of the tread grooves, with a height of 1.6 mm (the legal minimum groove depth). If the tread rubber wears down to the same level as these raised indicators, the tire should be replaced immediately, as continued driving is no longer safe. If the tire is damaged: Hitting a curb, falling into a pothole, or having a nail puncture can severely damage the tire. Generally, sidewall damage cannot be repaired, and for safety reasons, the tire must be replaced. If the tire is aged: If you notice tread deformation or significant cracking, stop using the tire immediately and have it inspected by a professional repair shop to determine if it can still be used. If the tire has a bulge: A tire bulge is a major factor leading to blowouts, especially on highways. If a bulge is detected, the tire should be replaced promptly.

What Are the Hazards of Steering Wheel Assist Balls?

Steering wheel assist balls can shorten the service life of the power steering function and make it easier to lock the steering wheel, which may lead to secondary injuries. The following are specific explanations: Shortening the power steering function: Turning the steering wheel too quickly puts excessive pressure on the power steering system, reducing its lifespan. Easily locking the steering wheel: Rapid steering movements increase the risk of accidentally locking the wheel, often accompanied by impact sounds. This situation is particularly prone to occur during parking maneuvers. Causing secondary injuries: In the event of a collision, the protruding assist ball may cause additional harm to both occupants and the vehicle itself.

What is the function of the vehicle KDSS?

The function of the vehicle KDSS system is to prevent further vehicle roll. Below are detailed explanations about the vehicle KDSS: Definition: The KDSS system is a front and rear stabilizer that uses bidirectional hydraulic pipelines and a cross-connected front and rear hydraulic cylinder system. When a regular vehicle experiences roll during driving, the KDSS system can effectively prevent the fluid circulation within the front and rear stabilizers. Notes: The vehicle KDSS system can adjust according to different road conditions. In off-road mode, since the stabilizer bar does not twist, the suspension travel is greater than that of a regular suspension, allowing the KDSS system to adjust based on varying road conditions.

Can You Still Ride a Motorcycle with a Flat Tire?

No. The vacuum tires of a motorcycle cannot be used when completely flat. Continuing to ride will result in loss of stability, severe tire damage, and even more serious wheel rim deformation. Additional Information: If a nail is stuck in the tire, you can still ride at a slower speed for a short period as long as there is still air pressure in the tire. This is because when a nail punctures a vacuum tire, the internal pressure of the tire causes the airtight layer around the nail to be pressed against the puncture, creating a sealing effect under pressure that prevents or slows down air leakage. Therefore, if a vacuum tire is punctured by a nail, do not pull it out. Instead, ride slowly to a repair shop to have the tire fixed.
