Is there compensation for the FAW Toyota Corolla recall?
2 Answers
FAW Toyota Corolla recall does include compensation. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Relevant regulations: According to Article 19 of the "Consumer Rights Protection Law": When an operator discovers defects in the goods or services they provide and implements recall measures, the operator shall bear the necessary expenses incurred by consumers due to the recall of the goods. 2. Recall decision: Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., in accordance with the requirements of the "Regulations on the Recall of Defective Automotive Products" and the "Implementation Measures for the Regulations on the Recall of Defective Automotive Products", has filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation. It has been decided to recall some Corolla, Corolla Hybrid, Vios, and Vios FS vehicles produced between November 1, 2016, and March 8, 2018, totaling 193,829 units, starting from July 23, 2018.
As an ordinary Corolla owner, when I heard about the FAW Toyota recall, I went straight to the dealership. They fixed the car's issue for free, like the previous airbag recall, and the whole process cost nothing and took about half a day. A recall means the manufacturer fixes problems for free after discovering them; there's no cash compensation unless an accident causes losses, but then you'd need to hire a lawyer and go to court. I received the notification from the official website and email, and it's advised to respond to the recall promptly—don't delay, because safety comes first. Recalls actually reflect corporate responsibility, and getting the fix done brings peace of mind. I've been through one, and the service was smooth with no extra hassle. Don't always expect compensation—the key is getting the free repair. The recall notice will detail everything, so don't misinterpret it as a chance for compensation. In short, as a car owner, I only care about timely and proper safety maintenance.
