Kukhumbule i-Audi A4, A5, A6 neMaserati Levante

I-Audi Australia isibuyisele emuva izimoto ezingu-2252 kusukela ku-A4, A5 kanye ne-A6.

I-Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) isikhumbule iMaserati Levante SUV esanda kukhishwa kanye nezinhlobo eziningi ze-Audi ngenxa yenkinga yenjini.

I-Audi Australia isibuyisele emuva izimoto ezingu-2252 kuma-A4, A5 kanye ne-A6, ezisebenzisa injini ye-TFSI 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged kaphethroli eyakhiwa phakathi kuka-2011 no-2016.

Uma isipholile esinezinhlayiya zakwamanye amazwe sivimba i-axiliary coolant pump ezimotweni ezithintekile, singabangela ingxenye ukuthi ishise kakhulu, okungase kuholele emlilweni.

I-automaker yaseJalimane izoxhumana nabanikazi balezi zinhlobo ngeposi futhi ibatshele ukuthi bahlele isheke le-Engine Control Unit (ECU) endaweni abayithandayo ye-Audi.

Izimpendulo zilandela ezakwa-Audi ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga.

Ukuhlola okusalindile, kuzosetshenziswa isibuyekezo sesofthiwe ku-ECU esishintsha ukwenziwa kusebenze nokuxilongwa kwephampu yamanzi eyisiza.

Ukubuyiswa kabusha kulandela i-Audi ekuqaleni kwale nyanga nge-9098 Q5 kanye ne-2191 A3 ekhumbulayo ngenxa yezinkinga ezingahlobene.

Khonamanjalo, iMaserati Australia ikhiphe isaziso sokuphepha kwamayunithi angama-73 eLevante ngenxa yezinkinga zeSUV's 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel powertrain.

Inkinga ikhonjwe ngengxenye yepayipi lerabha elifushane le-intercooler elingalimala ngenkathi imoto ihamba uma ingxenye ingacaciswanga.

Esimweni esinjalo, ukukhanya kwenkomba yokungasebenzi kahle "kwenjini yokuhlola" kuzovela, okusiza abanikazi benkinga ukuthi baqaphele. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abashayeli bangabona ukwehla ekusebenzeni.

Umkhiqizi wase-Italy uzokwazisa abanikazi bezimoto ezithintekile ngokuqondile futhi abacele ukuthi bahlele ukuthi i-Levante yabo ihlolwe endaweni edayisa i-Maserati eseduze.

Isanda kwethulwa ngoFebhuwari kulo nyaka, i-Levante isivele ikhombise impumelelo emangazayo yokuthengisa kweMaserati, njengoba ukuthengiswa komkhiqizo e-Australia kweqa ngo-49.5% unyaka nonyaka.

Njengoba kubikiwe ngeledlule, iSUV izokhula ngasekupheleni konyaka njengoba sekwethulwe izinhlobo ezihlukene zikaphethroli i-S kanye nenjini yakwaFerrari engu-3.0 litre twin-turbocharged V6 ngaphansi kwesivalo.

Abanikazi bezimoto abafuna ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nokubuyiselwa emuva bangasesha iwebhusayithi ye-ACCC Product Safety Australia.

I-BMW yaseNyakatho Melika isibuyisele emuva ezingu-45,484 zochungechunge lwayo lwango-7 olwakhiqizwa phakathi kuka-2005 no-2008 ngenxa yenkinga eyadala ukuvuleka kweminyango kungalindelekile.

Kodwa-ke, uphiko lwasendaweni lwenkampani luqinisekisile ukuthi azikho izimoto zase-Australia ezithintwe yile nkinga.

Abanikazi bezimoto abafuna ulwazi olwengeziwe nganoma yikuphi ukukhunjulwa, okuhlanganisa nohlu Lwezinombolo Zokuhlonza Izimoto ezithintekile (ama-VIN), bangasesha iwebhusayithi ye-ACCC Product Safety Australia.
