Recently, Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. Passenger Vehicle Company (hereinafter referred to as "Dongfeng Passenger Vehicle Company") filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulations in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations on the Administration of the Recall of Defective Automobile Products and the Implementation Measures for the Administration of the Recall of Defective Automobile Products. Effective January 14, 2022, the Company will recall some of Dongfeng Fengshen's new Mach 7 versions of the vehicles produced between August 16, 2021 and October 10, 2021, for a total of 1,257 vehicles.
Vehicles within the scope of this recall are defined according to the vehicle design, and under specific working conditions, the vehicle should have the function of automatic return to P gear, that is, when the speed is 0, non-P gear, the driver unfastens the seat belt and opens the main driving door, the TCU (automatic transmission control unit) will control the transmission to jump back to P gear, and the electronic shifter should automatically jump back to P gear with the TCU to make the vehicle enter the state of P gear parking. Now due to the electronic shifter software strategy problem, in extreme cases, the electronic shifter does not follow the TCU to automatically jump back to the P gear, causing the vehicle to continue to drive automatically according to the original gear; if the driver is out of the car and closes the door from the outside of the car, it will cause the dangerous situation that there is no one in the car and the vehicle automatically drives in the out-of-control state, and there is a safety hazard.
Dongfeng Passenger Vehicle Company will inspect and upgrade the electronic shifter software for vehicles within the scope of the recall free of charge to eliminate safety hazards.
