It is said that the party will eventually win, but it can't stop the manufacturers from starting to mess up.
How many "loyal fans" Toyota has in China is basically clear to everyone, in addition to the domestic Toyota can sell at a higher price of the car, you dare to discount I dare to fine the way is also full of Toyota's "pride".
For example, the new Senna plus money to pick up the car
Last weekend, however, Toyota did two big things and played its arrogance to the fullest.
Toyota recalled 900,000 vehicles in large quantities
The reason is the use of a defective exhaust gas circulation valve
First, the State Administration of Market Supervision issued an automobile recall announcement, announcing that GAC Toyota, Tianjin FAW Toyota, Toyota Motor (China), Sichuan FAW Toyota and Changchun Fengyue, and other domestic and imported vehicles were recalled, with a total recall of more than 900,000 vehicles.
Models include Camry, RAV4 Rongfang, C-HR, Yize, Veranda, Asian Dragon, Lexus ES, UX20 and other models.
The reason is that the internal components of the vehicle's engine exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR valve) may be corroded by the higher concentration of chlorine in the fuel, resulting in poor valve body movement. It may cause poor start-up operation, and in extreme cases, the vehicle will be turned off at low speed, increasing the risk of collision accidents, and there are potential safety hazards.
Seeing that many car owners feel that Toyota is still quite responsible, an EGR exhaust valve problem directly recalled 900,000 units to solve.
But if you see the following news, you think toyota's face is not generally thick.
Dumping supply chain pressure
Toyota announced the use of "micro-flaw" accessories for loading
Also last week, Toyota suddenly announced that it was willing to use worn or defective parts from suppliers without affecting the performance and safety of the vehicle." ”
Toyota's reason for doing this is also "simple", saying that it is because of the impact of the international epidemic, which has tightened the automotive supply chain in Japan and led to low profits for upstream suppliers. The original auto parts used by Toyota will be scrapped once the "defects" are found, and the spare parts are wasted.
This "cost optimization" initiative will continue to load the car with slightly worn or scratched parts, which will not have any impact on the owner's car and will also ensure the profitability of the supplier. To be honest, Toyota said it really beautifully, which can not only ensure its own profits but also support suppliers.
The owner of the car will not have any impact on the actual use of the car, it seems that everyone is good.
Many netizens immediately expressed disbelief, this is not a typical mess ~ ~
In the past, during the planned economy period, many materials were in short supply, and the purchase of major appliances was also divided into first-class products, second-class products, third-class products, and processed products. If there are tickets and connections, there is a chance to get "tight" first-class products, and ordinary people can only take the tickets in their hands to queue up for "second-class products", "third-class products", and even processed products.
In 1985, Haier smashed the battered refrigerator in order to achieve 0 flaws
Isn't it the same as the defective accessories that toyota plays today that do not affect the use of them, and our older generation bought defective home appliances in the 80s? Selling processed goods at the right price, this kind of large enterprise directly lying flat and rotten, can be said to be a big positive for our own brand cars.
After all, automotive products are a whole, composed of thousands of parts, many of which are interrelated, and no one can guarantee that there will be no problems.
Defective items are often discounted
Toyota has to "stand and make money"
To be honest, if Toyota wants to reduce costs and achieve zero waste, this is actually very common in the consumer goods market, and there is only one principle: since you use slightly flawed accessories, then sell at a discount
For example, the official flip phone we usually buy is the same reason, in fact, the official flip machine renovation level has reached the standard of the new machine, just because the official flip machine has some of these small flaws, can not be sold through the new machine means.
The logic is very simple, the price ratio of direct simple packaging is low, and it is also the factory product of the official joint guarantee.
Car circle "inside also has flaws in the new car, every year the domestic damage car is not a lot, this is because in the transportation process will inevitably appear damage, because the 4S shop can not be directly sold and there are logistics or insurance compensation records, so the damage car packaged to the secondary dealers to sell, after maintenance re-sale, the general preferential strength is also very large.
Like 21 Camry door damage, it is directly on the basis of the guide price discount of 30,000 yuan, other injuries do not you say this kind of as long as the door sheet metal of the new car do you want it?
After the normal purchase, go to the 4s store to sign a transport loss agreement to protect the rights and interests of both sides of the purchase and sale, open a good invoice to get good procedures, play a good license plate when the new car is opened, and the loss also helps the owner save a wave of purchase tax, which is what the defective car should look like!
And in turn look at Toyota's side, from time to time recall, the terminal part of the "dealer" also increased the price of the model, and now openly stated that it is going to use flawed parts, Toyota is planning to "stand, but also make money" Is it that the domestic "kneeling car owner" is too good to "bully"?
