Recently, Mercedes-Benz (China) Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. and the Changchun Fengyue Branch of FAW Toyota Motor (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. have respectively launched recall programs. The recalls involve some imported E-Class models, RAV4 Rongfang, and Lingfang models, and the reason for all the recalls is improper fastener torque.
Regarding the recall of Mercedes-Benz's imported E-Class cars, they were produced between February 19, 2024, and April 19, 2024, with a total of 4 vehicles. The reason for the recall is that the fixing bolts of the grounding wire harness at the bottom of the vehicle body may not have been tightened to the specified torque, which could lead to an increase in resistance and temperature in this area, posing a fire risk. As for FAW Toyota, it is recalling 10,799 RAV4 Rongfang cars produced between February 11, 2025, and April 11, 2025, and 93 Lingfang cars produced between February 11, 2025, and March 27, 2025. The reason for the recall is that due to improper setting of the production equipment program, the toe adjustment bolts of the rear wheel suspension lower control arm may not have been tightened to the standard torque. After long - term use, the bolts may loosen or fall off, and in extreme cases, it may affect the vehicle's driving stability.
In response to the recall issues, Mercedes-Benz will have authorized dealers to inspect and re - tighten the grounding wire harness fixing bolts free of charge. If any parts are damaged, they will be repaired. FAW Toyota will inspect the recalled vehicles for free, tighten the bolts to the correct torque, and re - perform four - wheel alignment to eliminate potential safety hazards.
This recall event highlights the crucial role of proper fastener tightening in automobile manufacturing. It also reminds all parties in the industry to strictly control key indicators such as fastener torque to ensure the quality, safety, and reliability of vehicles.
