On November 1, according to foreign media reports, Mercedes Benz, a subsidiary of Daimler group, announced the recall of 1700 new all electric EQC SUVs. Because the differential bolts of these vehicles may be defective, they may fail and need to be replaced.
Daimler said in a statement: 'the company has determined that in some EQC vehicles, the differential bolts of the front axle may not meet the durability specifications. Therefore, the possibility of bolt fracture in service life cannot be ruled out. In this case, the torque transmission of the front axle will be interrupted, causing the vehicle to stall. In addition, if the broken bolt part is stuck in the differential, it may lead to front wheel locking, which may affect the ability to control the vehicle and increase the risk of collision. '
The company did not confirm the number of vehicles affected, but the German industrial Journal said 1700 EQC SUVs were affected.
This EQC SUV is the first electric vehicle built by Mercedes Benz. It has not yet been listed in China, but the time of listing has been set, which is November 8 this year.
Will the recall of EQC SUV overseas be affected when it is going to be launched in China? A spokesman for the company said sales in China would not be affected by the recall. (Fox)
