With the expansion of the global auto market recall “teamâ€, the number of car recalls caused by airbag quality problems has also risen. The "Securities Daily" reporter learned from the website of the AQSIQ Defective Product Management Center that from the end of May to the beginning of June, less than half a month ago, there have been many recalls of airbags around the world, including Ford. Jaguar Land Rover, Toyota and many other car brands, a number of car companies. brake system Guangzhou Ruicheng Enterprise Services Co., Ltd. , https://www.rayparts.cn
Airbag problems were recalled by many car companies. Ford Motor Company (Korea) Sales Co., Ltd. announced the recall of some Maverick models in South Korea. The reason for the recall was that the software problem of the airbag control module caused certain vehicles to delay their double-sided air curtains when overturning. Open. Jaguar Land Rover Motors (Korea) Co., Ltd. announced the recall of some Land Rover Range Rover models. The airbag connector from the inside of the driver's seat and the front seat's seat cover is affected by the seat cover foam, which will affect the start of the airbag.
The biggest recall is Toyota. Toyota Motor Corporation announced the recall of some models in Japan, with a total of 648,000 vehicles. Moreover, Toyota Motor Engineering and Manufacturing Company plans to recall 50,000 2014 Highlander and Highlander hybrid vehicles in the United States.
The Toyota vehicle airbag electronic control unit recalled in the United States may contain incorrect software for controlling the front passenger seat belt restraint, and the force limiter may be restrained by a small body passenger. In a crash, passengers with large bodies on the front passenger seat may not be effectively restrained and increase the risk of injury.
Some media reported that Toyota Motor Corporation will recall 2.26 million vehicles in the world due to quality problems in the airbags of the passenger seats, but the recall does not involve China.
It can be said that in recent years, manufacturers have recalled airbags and consumers have more and more complaints about airbags. The Auto Complaints Network showed that there were more than a thousand complaints about airbags. "Airbags are critical and are one of the key components that affect the safety of drivers and passengers." Zhang Zhiyong, a senior analyst in the automotive industry, told reporters, "Everyone knows the importance of seat belts. Big security issue."
The number of recalls has risen and the quality of the refraction has been recalled in Japan. The reason for this is that the gas generator (expansion device) of the airbag of the passenger's seat is not qualified due to the molding process of the gas generating agent or the moisture-proof measures after forming. Some vehicles are equipped with a gas generating agent of insufficient density. Therefore, when the airbag is deployed, the internal pressure of the gas generator rises abnormally, and the gas generator container is damaged, splashed, caught, etc., which may cause injury to the vehicle.
It can be said that the airbag is no less effective than the seat belt in protecting the personal safety of the occupants. In view of the frequent airbag problems and the large-scale recall of car companies, Zhang Zhiyong believes that the company's overall technical level is improving during the large-scale expansion. Some parts and components may not have corresponding performance standards, and the suppliers are in the parts and components. In the case of imperfect management and control, the quality problems of airbags are inevitable.
However, he also stressed that the number of airbag recalls is increasing. There are also reasons for this. "The absolute number of recalls in the entire automotive industry has increased, and the absolute number of airbag recalls has increased. It is not surprising."
Qiu Baochang, head of the Lawyers Group of the China Consumers Association, believes that the role of airbags is to protect the personal safety of passengers. In the event of a safety incident, the airbag pops up with specific conditions, and it is generally difficult for the owner to find evidence that the quality is a problem.
Regarding the airbag lawsuit, Qiu Baochang described a case to the reporter. “There was a case in which the airbag on one side of the car was opened and the other side was not opened under the same detonation conditions. This is definitely a quality problem. The owner can ask the manufacturer for compensation.â€
Under normal circumstances, for safety accidents caused by problems with airbags, "it is necessary to judge according to how much the degree of injury of the personnel. The owner can ask the manufacturer to make a repair claim according to the 'three-package of automobile' regulations. If it does not reach a consensus, it is necessary to find The relevant agencies will coordinate and take legal procedures to solve this problem. Of course, the premise is that you need to get proof to prove that there is a problem with the airbag." Some lawyers who do not want to be named told reporters.
