According to the official website, this recall activity is a re-recall of the "FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd., Porsche (China) Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. Recall Some Imported Cars" issued on May 28, 2021, the reason for the recall is that the vehicles within the scope of this recall did not re-check and adjust the positioning of the rear axle suspension after performing the recall and maintenance of replacing the rear axle tow arm lock nut, and the possibility of deviation in the positioning of the rear axle suspension was not ruled out, which would lead to premature or uneven wear of the tires and the reduction of the adhesion of the tread and the ground. If the tire wears to the limit, it may cause the tire to burst, which will increase the risk of vehicle collision and there is a safety hazard.
FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd. and Porsche (China) Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. will inspect and adjust the suspension positioning of the rear axle free of charge for vehicles within the scope of the recall, and in addition, check whether the tires are premature or unevenly worn due to incorrect suspension positioning, and replace them if necessary to eliminate safety hazards.
