Ukukhumbula amamodeli eMercedes-AMG, Nissan, Infiniti, Audi, Volkswagen

Ukhumbula izinhlobo zeMercedes-AMG, Nissan, Infiniti, Audi, Volkswagen

I-Mercedes-AMG Australia isikhumbule izibonelo eziyi-1343 zemoto yezemidlalo yesizukulwane samanje i-C63 S.

I-Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) isimemezele umzuliswano wayo wakamuva wokukhumbula ukuphepha kwezimoto ezithinta izinhlobo zeMercedes-AMG, Nissan, Infiniti, Audi kanye neVolkswagen.

I-Mercedes-AMG Australia isikhumbule izibonelo eziyi-1343 zemoto yezemidlalo yesizukulwane samanje i-C63 S, okuhlanganisa i-sedan, i-station wagon, i-coupe ne-convertible, ngenxa yokwehluleka kwe-driveshaft.

Izimoto ezidayiswe phakathi kuka-February 1, 2015 kanye noJulayi 31, 2016 zingase zibe ne-torque ephakeme kakhulu ekuhanjisweni kwemoto ngesikhathi sokuhamba okumanzi.

Lokhu kungaholela ekulahlekelweni kokudonsa, okwandisa ingozi yengozi ezodinga ukubuyekezwa kwesofthiwe ye-Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) kanye namayunithi okulawula ukumiswa (uma kunesidingo).

Khonamanjalo, abakwaNissan Australia babuyisele emuva amasampula emoto yabo engu-1-series D23 Navara midsize kanye ne-R52 Pathfinder enkulu yeSUV efakwe i-push bar ye-Nissan Genuine Accessory ngenxa yezinkinga ezingase zifakwe.

I-torque enganele kumabhawodi ingabangela ukuthi amabhawodi abambe ihubhu ye-pusher axege, kubangele ukuthi ihubhu ihlengezele futhi, kwezinye izimo, iphume emotweni. Ngenxa yalokho, i-pushrod ingase ihlukaniseke, idale ingozi yengozi kubagibeli bemoto nabanye abasebenzisi bomgwaqo.

I-Infiniti Australia isihlanganise izibonelo ezingu-104 zemoto eyisizukulwane samanje iQ50 midsize sedan neQ60 sports motor enamandla angu-3.0 litre twin-turbocharged V6 injini ngenxa yenkinga ye-electronic control module (ECM).

Ukusebenza okubonisa ukwehluleka kokudlulisela okuzenzakalelayo akuhlelwanga ku-ECM, okusho ukuthi ukukhanya kwenkomba engasebenzi kahle (MIL) akufiki ngesikhathi esifanele. Uma umshayeli engayazi inkinga, izindinganiso zokukhipha umoya zingase zingahlangatshezwana nazo.

Lokhu kudalwe ukungafani kwezakhiwo ze-OBD phakathi kwe-ECM entsha ne-Monitored Network endala (CAN). Ukulungisa kudinga ukuhlela kabusha ngengqondo ebuyekeziwe.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Audi Australia iphinde yakhumbula imoto eyodwa eyi-A3 subcompact kanye ne-Q2 compact SUV eyodwa ngenxa yokungezwani kokuqina kwempahla phakathi kwamabheringi azo angemuva.

Zombili lezi zimoto zakhiwe ngo-Agasti nonyaka futhi ukuqina kwezindawo zazo ezingemuva akuqinisekisiwe njengoba amabhawodi angase axege.

Lokhu kungadala ukuthi umshayeli ahluleke ukuyilawula, kudaleke ingozi kubagibeli nakwabanye abasebenzisi bomgwaqo.

AbakwaVolkswagen Australia bakhumbule amaPassats amakhulu angu-62, iGalofu eyodwa encane kanye nesedan eyodwa enkulu ye-Arteon kusukela kumodeli wayo wonyaka ka-2018 ngenxa yesondo elingemuva elingakwazi ukuhluleka kwezindlu ngenxa yesikhathi esilinganiselwe sokukhiqiza.

Le ngxenye ibingase yakhiwe ngokungaqini ngokwanele komzimba, ngenxa yalokho ingathola umfantu, okungase kuthikameze kakhulu ukuzinza kwendlela imoto eya ngakuyo futhi kwandise amathuba okuba sengozini.

Abanikazi bezimoto ezingenhla bazothintwa ngokuqondile umkhiqizi wazo, ngaphandle kwe-Mercedes-AMG, ngemiyalo yokubhukha i-aphoyintimenti yesevisi endaweni abayithandayo.

Kuya ngenkinga, ukuthuthukiswa kwamahhala, ukulungiswa noma ukushintshwa kuzokwenzeka, iNissan ilinde kuze kuqinisekiswe ukutholakala kwezingxenye ngaphambi kokuqhubeka.

Noma ubani ofuna ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nalezi zinkumbulo, okuhlanganisa nohlu Lwezinombolo Zokuhlonza Izimoto ezithintekile (ama-VIN), angasesha iwebhusayithi ye-ACCC Product Safety Australia.
