Generally, proactive recalls do not necessarily lead to depreciation in the value of used vehicles. However, passive recalls and improper handling methods can not only affect the resale value of used cars but also have a negative impact on the overall brand. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Factors Affecting Resale Value: There are many factors that influence the resale value of used cars, including vehicle condition, age, new car prices, and market-related factors such as car ownership, market demand, and brand reputation. Recalls occur due to issues with critical components, which affect the vehicle's performance and safety. Subsequent "patch" solutions further dissatisfy consumers, and recall incidents may, to some extent, impact the vehicle's resale value. 2. Component Issues: Recalls caused by non-critical component issues do not significantly affect the residual value of vehicles and will not cause price fluctuations.

Does Geely's Three-Cylinder Engine Shake Severely After Several Years?

With technological advancements, the shaking of Geely's three-cylinder engine after several years has become less noticeable. Here is an introduction to it: 1. Early three-cylinder engines might experience severe shaking after a few years of use. 2. Today's three-cylinder engine technology has matured. Although it still cannot be completely eliminated, the shaking has significantly decreased. By adopting the optimal single-cylinder combustion design, although the displacement is smaller, the power performance and fuel economy have improved considerably. Below is a description of the shaking issue with Geely's three-cylinder engine: (1) Shaking can be considered an inherent flaw of three-cylinder engines. Due to the odd number of cylinders, there is always one cylinder working alone, making it impossible to balance the inertial torque, thus causing shaking. This is especially severe at idle, and the more the car is driven, the more noticeable the shaking becomes. (2) Manufacturers use methods such as balance shafts to reduce shaking. Currently, there is no way to completely eliminate it, but the shaking issue has significantly decreased.

Can You Still Drive with a Crack on the Side of a Run-Flat Tire?

Automotive run-flat tires typically use steel-belted construction, consisting of an inner tube and an outer tire. For truck tires, if the outer tire has cracks, whether they can continue to be used depends on the situation. Minor scratches do not affect usability, and small-scale cracking due to aging can still be used safely for a short period. However, for buses using semi-steel-belted tires, timely replacement is necessary if cracking occurs. If there is a crack on the outer side of a car tire but no air leakage, the decision to replace it can be based on the actual usage environment. If there is a large crack on the outer side of the tire, this poses a significant safety threat to normal driving, and the entire tire must be replaced. The strongest part of a tire is the tread. Below the tread are the belt stabilizer layer, steel reinforcement layer, cord layer, and airtight layer. This area consists of thick, high-quality rubber, with raised tread patterns for water drainage and increased friction. The multiple reinforcement layers make it resistant to damage, while the airtight layer ensures no gas leakage, maintaining tire pressure.
