It is said that Toyota is not broken, but it is very embarrassing, and recently it has been recalled on a large scale!
As we all know, the epidemic and lack of core in the past two years have completely broken the rhythm of the car market, and there are not a few car companies that have stopped work and reduced production, and Toyota, as a star brand, is no exception, and this year's multiple suspensions have directly led to a sharp decline in sales, and its global sales fell by 20.1% year-on-year as of October. However, Toyota's tragedy is far more than once, just on December 10, Toyota issued a recall announcement, and the number of recalled vehicles is also quite amazing, close to 900,000 vehicles, completely exceeding this year's sales.
Why say "again"? Because Toyota's recalls have been too frequent in recent years, and the number of vehicles involved is very large, nearly a dozen recalls have been launched as of November this year, involving more than 520,000 vehicles. What about "opening is not bad" that is good? Could it be that the god car will also "overturn"! At present, it seems that this is really the case, and this is not a new round of recall, involving The Willanda, Camry, Asian Dragon, C-HR, Yize, RAV4 Rongfang these popular models.
In addition, Toyota's high-end brand Lexus is also "recruited", the number of recalls is as high as 127,000 vehicles, of which Lexus ES has become the main recalled model. This can't help but make people question, what about the quality of the previous Toyota? Is it that consumer requirements have increased, or that Toyota has "saved" on materials? However, it is certain that as the number of Toyota recalls increases, its image in the minds of consumers is gradually decreasing.
Perhaps, after a while, "not bad" will become a legend. The reason for the recall is that the internal components of the engine exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR valve) of the vehicle within the scope of the recall may be corroded by the higher concentration of chlorine in the fuel, resulting in poor valve movement. It may cause the engine to run poorly, and in extreme cases, the vehicle will be turned off at low speed, increasing the risk of collision accidents and potential safety hazards.
In simple terms, it is the quality problem of the EGR valve, as an important component of the engine, its control feedback intake system exhaust gas recirculation, not only can improve the efficiency of the engine, but also can extend the service life of other components, so to some extent it is involved in the whole body, it can be said that the small parts of the big role. Making a mistake in such an important place, I really don't know what Toyota thinks? Or is it not another supplier's pot?
It is worth mentioning that some people pointed out that the recalled vehicles are from the TNGA architecture to build, so the scope of the impact will be so wide, the production cost can indeed be reduced, but the recall cost of the problem can not be small, the recall replacement of the EGR valve price in the hundreds to thousands, it does not look particularly expensive, but can not stand the number of this time, you can help Toyota calculate the account, no wonder Toyota is not willing to take the initiative to mention the recall, fortunately in the State Administration for Market Supervision and Administration launched a defect investigation.
"Silence" has always been Toyota's attitude, from the brake door to the mud door to the fuel pump, Toyota almost did not take the initiative once, especially the "machine throttle" incident, the same is the increase in oil, American consumers have been recalled, Chinese consumers have been chosen to ignore, this difference in treatment in the end what is the intention? It may be that Toyota in the Chinese market is too hot, and the price increase cannot stop the enthusiasm for purchase. Well, this is indeed a "reasonable" explanation!
But you think Toyota's "excesses" are just that? Wrong, at the same time as this large-scale recall, Toyota also said that it would use defective parts. Yes, you read that right, its official announcement is that "wear or defective parts from suppliers are willing to use without compromising the performance and safety of the vehicle." "It seems that Toyota's supply chain crisis is very serious, coupled with the impact of defects, this time Toyota is really anxious."
Here, the author wants to give you science popularization, the so-called "defective parts" refers to the parts that do not have use problems and product defects, but have slight wear or scratches. In the past, such "defective parts" were directly scrapped. But now it is used in the car by the bright and honest demand, which is contrary to the "craftsman spirit" advocated by Toyota, and also means that consumers will take greater risks, so why should I buy a Toyota car?
Finally, having said so much, I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to the batch of recalled vehicles and see if their cars are in the recall. Attach the specific batch of recall, please carefully check!
