Is There Any Subsidy for Vehicle Recalls?

There is no compensation for vehicle recalls. According to the "Regulations on the Recall of Defective Automotive Products": Article 19: For defective automotive products subject to recall, the manufacturer shall promptly take corrective measures such as repair, replacement, or refund to eliminate the defect. The manufacturer shall bear the costs of eliminating the defect and the necessary transportation costs of the defective automotive products. Relevant information about vehicle recalls is as follows: Introduction: Automobile product recall (Automobile-Recall) refers to the process by which the manufacturer of defective automotive products eliminates the defects in their products in accordance with legal requirements and procedures. Specific Process: This includes the manufacturer notifying dealers, repairers, vehicle owners, and other relevant parties in an effective manner about the specifics of the defect and the methods to eliminate it. The manufacturer shall then organize dealers, repairers, etc., to eliminate the defects in their automotive products through specific measures such as repair, replacement, or refund.
I heard that recalls are essentially a way for manufacturers to fix cars, without giving you cash compensation, just replacing parts or repairing faulty components for free. I once had a small car that was recalled due to a defect in the braking system. I took it to the 4S shop, and they replaced the parts directly without charging me a penny. If the recall affects your daily life, such as not being able to use the car during repairs, some brands may provide a replacement vehicle or compensate for fuel costs, but this isn't called a subsidy—it's considered an additional service. I think the original intention of recalls is to ensure safety. Car owners should proactively check their vehicle records. You can enter the VIN on the official website to find recall information. Don’t delay; if something happens, it might be too late.
