A sudden news detonated the car circle! 16,666 units of BYD Seagull electric vehicles are being recalled, what is going on? On April 30, the news that BYD recalled 16,666 Seagull electric vehicles shocked the industry.
It is reported that the production date of these vehicles is between April 7 and May 31, 2023, due to a problem with the camera driver software of the multimedia display assembly, which may affect the safety of vision when reversing. Unexpectedly, this "seagull" did not fly long before it encountered the haze of recall, which was a big blow to BYD and consumers.
Fortunately, BYD announced that it will carry out a free software upgrade for the recalled vehicles through OTA technology. This means that most car owners can easily solve the problem without running to the 4S store. This can't help but make people sigh, the power of technology is so powerful! In the past, I had to go to the store for half a day at every turn, but now I can just move my fingers while lying at home.
It seems that OTA upgrades are not only convenient for car owners, but also save a lot of time and cost for car manufacturers.
But what is the perfect thing in the world? It is said that there are still a few unlucky cars that cannot enjoy the convenience of OTA upgrades. In this regard, BYD said that it would take the initiative to contact these users and arrange for them to go to a nearby authorized dealer store for free upgrades.
It's a bit of a hassle, but there's a proper solution. It is believed that through the professional services of the 4S shop, these vehicles can also be repaired as soon as possible and put back on the road.
In recent years, BYD can be said to have recalled "frequent customers". Last year, nearly 20,000 Qin PLUS DM-i models were recalled due to brake problems, and Han DM and other models were recalled due to engine failure. Frequent recalls inevitably lead to consumer doubts and dissatisfaction.
Some netizens ridiculed: "BYD is going to stage a recall of the 'Twelve Consecutive Championships'? "There are also concerns that the recall will not affect the value preservation space and brand image of the vehicle. It seems that BYD still needs to work quality control!
Then again, the recall is not a flood beast. On the contrary, it embodies the attitude of a responsible automotive company. Rather than letting the problem vehicle carry potential safety hazards on the road and harm the rights and interests of consumers, it is better to take the initiative to recall and repair it in time.
From this point of view, BYD's move is worthy of recognition. As the saying goes, "a big man can bend and stretch", admit his mistakes at critical moments and work hard to correct them, this is the real hero! It's just that I suggest that BYD don't let the recall become "commonplace" next time, I really can't afford to hurt it!
With this recall, we are once again witnessing the changing landscape of the automotive industry. On the one hand, it reflects that the current new energy vehicles still face many challenges in the rapid development; On the other hand, it also highlights the importance of automotive aftermarket services represented by OTA upgrades. Looking to the future, it is worth pondering how automotive companies should balance innovation with quality, speed and safety. What do you think of this phenomenon?
