Will There Be Compensation If a Car Is Recalled Due to Issues?
1 Answers
There are no explicit national regulations requiring manufacturers to compensate consumers, so only repairs and replacements can be provided for the vehicles. Car recalls fall into the following two scenarios: 1. The car manufacturer voluntarily recalls the vehicles. If defects exist due to design or manufacturing issues, failing to comply with relevant regulations and standards, which may lead to safety or environmental concerns, the manufacturer must promptly report the product issues, the causes, and improvement measures to the relevant national authorities. They must then apply for a recall and, upon approval, modify the affected vehicles to eliminate potential hazards. 2. If the vehicle issues are significant, posing safety risks, and have been frequently reported by consumers, drawing attention from the relevant authorities, the state may mandate the manufacturer to recall the cars.
