Khumbula amamodeli akwaMercedes-Benz, Peugeot, Citroen, Ram, Aston Martin

Izibonelo zeMercedes-Benz A-Class zihoxisiwe ngenxa yenkinga engase ibe khona ohlelweni lokubhuleka.

I-Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) isimemezele umzuliswano wayo wakamuva wokukhumbula izimoto zonogada ezithinta izinhlobo zeMercedes-Benz, Peugeot, Citroen, Ram kanye ne-Aston Martin.

I-Mercedes-Benz Australia isibuyisele emuva izimoto ezingaphansi kwe-A-Class kanye ne-B-Class ebezithengiswa kusukela ngo-February 1, 2012 kuya kuJuni 30, 2013 ngenxa yenkinga yesixhumi sepayipi le-brake booster vacuum okungenzeka liphukile.

Uma ihluleka, amandla e-brake system abezoncipha, okuzoholela ekutheni kudingeke umzamo owengeziwe wokunyathela ukumisa imoto.

Ngakho-ke, esimweni esinjalo, ingozi yokulimala kubagibeli noma abanye abasebenzisi bomgwaqo iyanda.

I-Peugeot Australia isibuyisele emuva izimoto ezingu-1053 ezimotweni ezincane ezingu-308 nama-sedan amakhulu angu-508.

Khonamanjalo, i-G-Class SUV edayiswe kusukela ngo-April 1, 2013 kuya ku-April 30, 2016 ibhekene nenkinga yokungasebenzi kahle kwamabhawodi esiteringi aphansi okungenzeka ukuthi awaqiniswanga kahle ngesikhathi sokukhiqiza.

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, uxhumano lungaguga futhi lubangele ukulahlekelwa kokulawula, futhi ukwehluleka okuphelele okungenakwenzeka kungaholela ekulahlekelweni okuphelele.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-automaker yaseJalimane ikhumbule amayunithi angu-46 e-EvoBus yayo ngenxa ye-weld engaphelele kubakaki bekholomu yokuqondisa, engayenza ingathembeki.

Obunye ubunzima bokuqondisa bungase buvele ngenxa yokunyakaza kwekholomu, kodwa ngeke kube khona ukulahlekelwa kwangempela kokulawula ukuqondisa. Abanikazi bayacelwa ukuthi bathinte umdayisi ogunyaziwe ukuze bahlele ukukhanda kwamahhala.

I-Peugeot Australia isibuyisele emuva izimoto zayo ezincane ezingu-1053 nezinkulu ezingu-308 sezihlanganisiwe ezingu-508, kanti i-Citroen Australia isikhumbule izibonelo ezingu-84 zezinhlobo zayo ze-C5, DS4 kanye ne-DS5, nama-marques womabili ahlaselwe yiphutha elifanayo.

Izinhlobo ezithintekile zakwaPeugeot zidayiswe kusukela ngoNovemba 1, 2014 kuya kuMeyi 31 kulo nyaka, kwathi izimoto zakwaCitroen ezithintekile zathengiswa kusukela ngoMeyi 1, 2015 kuya ku-Agasti 31, 2016.

I-American Special Vehicles (ASV), ongenisa kwamanye amazwe wase-Australia kanye nomprosesa wemikhiqizo ye-Ram, ukhumbule amasampula ohlwini lwayo lwama-pickup we-Laramie.

Kuzo zonke izimo, ilugi yokuxhuma i-12V starter ingase ingafakwa kahle futhi ingase ithinte izingxenye zensimbi, ezingase zidale ukujikeleza okufushane futhi zidale ingozi yomlilo.

I-American Special Vehicles (ASV), ongenisa kwamanye amazwe wase-Australia kanye nomkhiqizi kabusha wemikhiqizo ye-Ram, ukhumbule izibonelo zohlelo lweloli layo lokuthwala i-Laramie ngenxa yephutha lapho isivinini sesignali yokujika besingeke sishintshe lapho isibani siyeka ukusebenza.

Ngenxa yalokhu kungasebenzi, abashayeli ngeke baxwayiswe ngelambu elishile, okwandisa amathuba engozi.

I-Aston Martin Australia isikhumbule izimoto zayo zezemidlalo i-DB11 ne-V8 Vantage ngenxa yamaphutha amathathu ahlukene.

Ama-DB11 angamashumi amahlanu nesishiyagalombili adayiswe phakathi kukaNovemba 30, 2016 noJuni 7 kulo nyaka anezinkinga ngohlelo lokuqapha umfutho wesondo ngenxa yokulinganiswa okungalungile.

Ngenxa yalokho, isixwayiso somfutho wesondo ophansi ngeke sisebenze uma kudingeka, okungase kwandise ingozi yengozi uma amathayi efunyelwe kancane.

Kungenjalo, i-V8 Vantage ithintwa izinkinga ezimbili ezihlukene zokudlulisela phambili ezihambisana nokushintshwa kwayo okushintshwayo okunamagiya ayisikhombisa e-Speedshift II, okuphinde kwabuyiselwa angu-19 ngenkinga ngayinye.

Inkinga yokuqala ithinta amamodeli adayiswe kusukela ngomhla ka-8 Disemba 2010 kuya kuJulayi 25, 2013 futhi ihlobene nesixhumi se-hydraulic phakathi kwepayipi le-clutch fluid kanye nokudlulisa, okungenzeka ukuthi akusekelwe kahle.

Uma isixhumi sihluleka, uketshezi lwe-clutch lungase luphume, kubangele ukuthi uhlelo lungasebenzi kahle, okungenzeka kubangele ingozi.

Ukukhishwa kwesibili kuhlobene namayunithi athengiswe phakathi kukaDisemba 8, 2010 kanye no-Agasti 15, 2012 ngesibuyekezo sesofthiwe yokudlulisela esinikezwe ekushayeleni emuva kwakamuva okwazisa ukukhunjulwa okulandelanayo.

Ukuzijwayeza kwe-clutch okulondoloziwe kanye nedatha yenkomba yokugqoka akuzange kukhishwe njengengxenye yesibuyekezo lapho kufanele ngabe kususiwe ngenxa yokungahambelani okungenzeka kwenguqulo entsha.

Noma ubani ofuna ulwazi olwengeziwe ngalokhu kukhumbula angasesha iwebhusayithi ye-ACCC Product Safety Australia.

Lokhu kungase kudale ukuthi igeje i-automatic gearshift, okungase kudale ukuthi imoto ishintshe ibe ne-neutral. Umshayeli uyakwazi ukuzikhethela igiya ukulungisa inkinga bese egcina noma enyuse isivinini.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-clutch ingashelela futhi ishise ngokweqile, okubeka ukudluliselwa kumodi "yokuvikela i-clutch" enokukhanya okuyisixwayiso kuze kube yilapho izinga lokushisa lehla.

Abanikazi bazo zonke izinhlobo ezingenhla, ngaphandle kwe-EvoBus, bazothintwa ngokuqondile umkhiqizi wezimoto zabo futhi bayalwe ukuthi bahlele ukuhlolwa endaweni abayithandayo, lapho izingxenye ezinephutha zizothuthukiswa, zilungiswe noma zishintshwe mahhala.

Noma ubani ofuna ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nalokhu kukhumbula, okuhlanganisa nohlu olugcwele lwezinombolo ze-car identification (VINs) ezithintekile, angasesha iwebhusayithi ye-ACCC Product Safety Australia.

Ingabe imoto yakho ithintwa umjikelezo wakamuva wokukhumbula? Sitshele kumazwana angezansi.
