Does the Volkswagen Magotan sound insulation cotton recall require replacement?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Magotan sound insulation cotton recall requires replacement. The reason for the Magotan's sound insulation cotton recall is that the cotton itself has an odor, and prolonged exposure inside the vehicle can affect the driver's and passengers' sense of smell and physical health. Function of sound insulation cotton: In addition to blocking noisy sounds and creating a quiet and comfortable environment inside the car, sound insulation cotton also has excellent heat insulation properties. When installed under the car's hood, it effectively prevents the engine's high temperature from directly transferring to the hood, thereby protecting the hood's surface paint and avoiding fogging on the hood during rainy days that could impair visibility. Sound insulation principle: Sound is generated by the vibration of objects. When sound waves travel through the air and reach the sound insulation cotton, the cotton's multi-fiber structure causes the sound waves to undergo numerous reflections, overlaps, and collisions among the fibers. This converts the sound wave energy into heat energy, reducing the intensity of the sound waves and thereby diminishing the noise.
