What is the reason for the steering recall of Wuling Hongguang Plus?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang Plus steering recall is due to the steering wheel's inability to return to center position. Below are the relevant details: Wuling Hongguang PLUS: The Wuling Hongguang PLUS is positioned as a wide-body business vehicle. It is equipped with a 1.5T engine across all variants, delivering a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Its combined fuel consumption is only 7.3L/100km, while also meeting the China VI emission standards. Exterior: The Wuling Hongguang PLUS adopts the design elements of "parallel rectangles, simple and rugged", along with the design concept of "slightly curved" body surfaces. The combination of various parallel straight lines and fold lines echoes the overall design style, advocating simplicity and the idea of reducing complexity.
My Wuling Hongguang PLUS was also recalled last year. The manufacturer explained that there was a component in the steering gear assembly with slightly inaccurate machining dimensions. Over time, the steering gear could seize up, making the steering wheel suddenly impossible to turn, which was terrifying. I once experienced the steering wheel becoming extremely heavy during a turn, almost making it impossible to maneuver. Later, I went to the 4S store and got the entire steering gear replaced for free. The technician said this issue only affected batches produced between 2019 and 2020. I recommend everyone pay attention to official SMS notifications. If the last seven digits of your VIN fall between LZWADAGA and LZWADAGX, you must go and get it replaced—don’t delay. Now, I can finally drive without worrying.
