Written in the end: In the January recall, Toyota and Audi were more serious incidents, and Toyota recalled more than 300,000 vehicles at a time, which is usually rare. Audi has complained before that the water in the rear seat makes the vehicle unable to drive, and the owner of the car pays for high maintenance from his own pocket. In the summary of this recall, in addition to the large number of Toyota recalls, Chery, Audi and Wuling are also worth paying attention to, because in the recall announcement, it is clearly written that "this recall activity was carried out under the condition that the State Administration for Market Supervision and Administration launched a defect investigation". That is to say, these three recalls are the recall procedures initiated by the manufacturers after the relevant departments began to investigate. However, you don't have to worry, since the manufacturer chooses to start the recall process, it means that there is a way to deal with the defect. So calm down, if your car is within the scope of the recall, contact the manufacturer and dealer as soon as possible for maintenance.
