How are recalled vehicles compensated?
1 Answers
Basically, the compensations are extended warranties, coupons, gifts, etc., which do not have a significant impact on 4S stores. Vehicle recalls indicate that the problems are widespread and pose serious potential hazards, which can severely affect the brand's reputation. Therefore, most automakers will offer some compensation to car owners as a gesture after the recall. There have been quite a few faults in vehicle recalls: 1. Component failures in the steering assembly and braking assembly. Normally, normal driving may lead to a gradual decline in braking force. Other issues, such as torque sensor failures or the electronic parking brake not releasing automatically, are quality problems. 2. Fuel assembly component failures, such as the vehicle suddenly stalling while driving, or unidentified fluids like oil or gasoline leaking under the chassis. 3. Engine assembly issues mainly involve abnormal engine noises and stuck accelerator pedals. Abnormal engine noises are particularly serious, ranging from air intake system blockages to damaged piston rods or crankshafts. 4. Tire cracking, cracks, or bulges within 80,000 kilometers or 3 years are considered quality problems. 5. Pungent odors in seat backs or interiors that persist for a long time are quality issues. 6. Unfixed window glass installations, falling seals causing abnormal noises, and wind noise also fall under recall categories. 7. Seats or backrests suddenly failing during normal use, potentially injuring occupants. 8. Cracking, detachment, or falling of key components in the vehicle, which may lead to fluid leaks, loss of control, or injuries to people inside or outside the car.
