trend

The Nissan recall represented by Xuanyi and Qashqai involves more than 80,000 cars and has become the brand with the largest number of single recalls in this statistics.
Secondly, Toyota’s recall continues, the Chinese recall of some Lexus LS models of cars, is affected by foreign recalls, the number of global recalls is 11,500 vehicles, in addition to the Chinese market, but also involving Japan, the United States and other more than 50 countries and regions.
Furthermore, the largest number of domestic recalls in May were due to failures in legacy systems.
In addition, in foreign recalls, all three Japanese giants are involved, including many of their high-end sub-brands.
Finally, turn to Renault and Chrysler. The global recall of Renault Laguna has been determined to involve the Chinese market, but the specific recall plan will not be announced until the domestic review is completed. Chrysler said that it is not clear whether the global recall involves the domestic market, and Chrysler will give a clear answer as soon as possible.
Foreign recall in May
Japan’s Toyota Motor Corporation said on May 19 that due to problems with the electronic control system, it may cause a few seconds of transmission disconnection between the steering wheel and the actual operation of the vehicle, and recall 11,500 Lexus LS sedans worldwide. The recalled vehicle models are LS460, LS460L and hybrid LS600h and LS600hL.
2. General Motors announced on May 5 that it is recalling 19,404 Hummer H3 models worldwide. The reason is that the heat-dissipating blinds on the hood may fall off during driving. The recalled models are some Hummer H3S and H3TS models. It is understood that H3 is imported in small batches in Huawei, and there are no official statistics.
3. Renault recently announced that it will recall more than 155,000 new Laguna vehicles worldwide. The reason is that the steel link part under the seat belt lock is too long, which makes the seat belt unable to tighten the driver in extreme situations and puts the driver at greater risk.
In early May, Japan’s Honda Motor Co. announced that it was recalling 167,255 2004-2008 Acura TSX models in the United States, equipped with 2.4-liter line-four engines.

Recently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Board said that it has received Chrysler’s voluntary recall plan to recall 55,000 vehicles worldwide, involving Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Commander and other models, because the ignition key of the recalled vehicles may shift before the vehicle switches to neutral, or cause the car to slip.
