Volvo V70 & S80

Η σουηδική αυτοκινητοβιομηχανία Volvo ανακοίνωσε ότι ανακαλεί 8.500 από τα μοντέλα της V70 2.0 FlexiFuel και S80 2.0 FlexiFuell λόγω προβλημάτων που παρουσίασαν στην αντλία καυσίμου.

Αρκετοί ιδιοκτήτες ανέφεραν ότι τα αυτοκίνητα τους σταματούσαν ξαφνικά, ενώ μερικοί δήλωσαν ότι είναι πιθανό το πρόβλημα να οφείλεται στις πολύ υψηλές θερμοκρασίες.

Σύμφωνα με τα σουηδικά μέσα ενημέρωσης, περίπου 400 ιδιοκτήτες στην χώρα αντιμετώπισαν πρόβλημα με το αυτοκίνητο τους κατά την διάρκεια του πρόσφατου καύσωνα.

"Είναι μεγάλος αριθμός για εμάς για μια τόσο μικρή περίοδο" δήλωσε ο εκπρόσωπος της Volvo, Μπο Λάρσεν.

Τα αυτοκίνητα , οι αντλίες των οποίων θα αντικατασταθούν με καινούργιες, έχουν κατασκευαστεί από το Νοέμβριο του 2007 έως και τον Σεπτέμβριο του 2008, ενώ τα περισσότερα έχουν αγοραστεί στην Σουηδία.

Toyota 8 μοντέλα!

Η Toyota Motor Europe ανακοίνωσε την ανάκληση 8 μοντέλων της για προληπτικό έλεγχο στο πεντάλ του γκαζιού. Ο ακριβής αριθμός δεν έχει οριστικοποιηθεί ακόμα, αλλά ενδέχεται να φτάσει το 1,8 εκατομμύριο. Κανένα μοντέλο Lexus ή κάποιο άλλο από τα υπόλοιπα μοντέλα Toyota δεν επηρεάζεται.

Τα εν λόγω μοντέλα και οι περίοδοι παραγωγής τους είναι:

Aygo (Φεβ 2005 – Αυγ 2009)

iQ (Νοε 2008 – Νοε 2009)

Yaris (Νοε 2005 – Σεπ 2009)

Auris (Οκτ 2006 – 5 Ιαν 2010)

Corolla (Οκτ 2006 – Δεκ 2009)

Verso (Φεβ 2009 – 5 Ιαν 2010)

Avensis (Νοε 2008 – Δεκ 2009)

RAV4 (Νοε 2005 – Νοε 2009)

«Πολιτική της Toyota είναι η προτεραιότητα στον πελάτη, σε κάθε περίπτωση» δήλωσε ο Tadashi Arashima, Πρόεδρος & CEO της Toyota Motor Europe. «Κατανοούμε ότι η παρούσα κατάσταση δημιουργεί ανησυχίες, και ειλικρικά λυπούμεθα γιΆ αυτό. Θα θέλαμε επίσης να διαβεβαιώσουμε τους πελάτες: το συγκεκριμένο θέμα, υπάρχει μια μικρή πιθανότητα να παρουσιαστεί μόνο κάτω από αντίξοες συνθήκες λειτουργίας και μόνο σε πολύ σπάνιες περιπτώσεις. Η ενέργεια που ανακοινώνουμε αποτελεί καθαρά και μόνο προληπτικό έλεγχο και στόχος μας είναι να διασφαλίσουμε και να εγγυηθούμε στους πελάτες μας, τα υψηλά πρότυπα ασφάλειας της Τoyota»

Για αυτά τα οχήματα, υπάρχει μια μικρή πιθανότητα, ο μηχανισμός του πεντάλ του γκαζιού, σε ακραίες περιπτώσεις να κολλάει σε μία μερικώς πατημένη θέση ή να αργεί να επανέλθει.

Το φαινόμενο αυτό προκαλείται κυρίως επειδή ο μηχανισμός του πεντάλ του γκαζιού ενδέχεται μετά από μακρόχρονη χρήση να φθαρεί. Αυτή η προοδευτική φθορά, σε συνδυασμό με ορισμένες επιπλέον λειτουργικές και περιβαλλοντικές συνθήκες (π.χ. υγρασία, σκόνη), μπορεί να προκαλέσει αύξηση τριβής στον μηχανισμό με αποτέλεσμα το πεντάλ περιοδικά να γίνεται σκληρότερο στη χρήση, αργό στην επαναφορά ή, σε σπάνιες και ακραίες περιπτώσεις, να κολλάει σε μερικώς ανοιχτή θέση. Η Toyota έχει προβεί σε μέτρα άμεσης αποκατάστασης και αυτή τη στιγμή ακολουθεί μία διαδικασία τελικής αξιολόγησης και επιβεβαίωσης. Μόλις ολοκληρωθεί αυτή η διαδικασία, η Toyota θα κοινοποιήσει σε όλους τους εμπλεκόμενους πελάτες της και τα λοιπά ενδιαφερόμενα μέρη, τις λεπτομέρειες τόσο των διορθωτικών παρεμβάσεων όσο και της διαδικασίας υλοποίησης αυτών.

Αν και πρόκειται για ακραία περίπτωση, η Toyota προτείνει όσοι ενδιαφέρονται για τυχόν επιπρόσθετες πληροφορίες να επικοινωνήσουν με την Τoyota Ελλάς - Τμήμα Εξυπηρέτησης Πελατών - στο τηλέφωνο : 210 2808222

Ηρθε δυστυχώς η ώρα να στενοχωρηθούν καποιοι .... μερικές απο τις ανακλήσεις του 2010 :

Volvo S60

The recall concerns model year 2011 cars with VINs from 0000001 to 0003532.

VOLKSWAGEN is recalling certain model year

2006-2010 jetta, new beetle, new beetle convertible,

2009 jetta sportwagen

2007-2009 rabbit

vehicles equipped with 2.5l engines.

The jetta, jetta sportwagen, and rabbit vehicles may have a small plastic tab located on the windshield washer fluid reservoir that may chafe against an underhood fuel supply line.

The new beetle and the new beetle convertible vehicles may have a fastening clamp on a hydraulic hose of the power steering system that may be located in an improper position which could cause chafing against an underhood fuel supply line.

If chafing occurs, there is the potential for a fuel leak to develop. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

Dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the underhood fuel line. Additionally, depending on the vehicle model, dealers will either remove the plastic tab from the windshield washer fluid reservoir, or inspect the position of the fastening clamp and adjust the related fastening clamp into the correct position. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before january 31, 2011.

Η Τoyota αναλαλεί άλλα 2.17 εκατομμήρια οχήματα (Πρόβλημα: το πατάκι του οδηγού μπορέί να μπλοκάρει το πεντάλ του γκαζιού) :

Toyota Announces Two Voluntary Recalls and Amends Potential Floor Mat Interference Recall Announced in 2009

Driver’s Side Floor Carpet Plastic Pad Modification on Lexus GS

Driver’s Side Floor Carpet Cover Replacement on Lexus RX and Toyota Highlander

Models Added to the Potential Floor Mat Interference with Accelerator Pedal Recall

Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), Inc., today announced that it will conduct a voluntary safety recall of approximately 20,000 2006 and early 2007 Model Year GS 300 and GS 350 All-Wheel Drive vehicles to modify the shape of the plastic pad embedded in the driver’s side floor carpet. In the event that the floor carpet around the accelerator pedal is not properly replaced in the correct position after a service operation, there is a possibility that the plastic pad embedded into the floor carpet may interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal. If this occurs, the accelerator pedal may become temporarily stuck in a partially depressed position rather than returning to the idle position. Owners of the involved GS 300 and GS 350 All-Wheel Drive vehicles will receive a notification by first class mail beginning in early March 2011.

Toyota will also voluntarily recall approximately 372,000 2004 through 2006 and early 2007 RX 330, RX 350, and RX 400h vehicles, and approximately 397,000 2004 through 2006 Highlander and Highlander HV vehicles to replace the driver’s side floor carpet cover and its two retention clips. If the forward retention clip used to secure the floor carpet cover, which is located in front of the center console, is not installed properly, the cover may lean toward the accelerator pedal and interfere with the accelerator pedal arm. If this occurs, the accelerator pedal may become temporarily stuck in a partially depressed position rather than returning to the idle position.

Owners of the involved RX and Highlander vehicles will receive an interim notification by first class mail beginning in the near future, explaining how to inspect for this condition or that they may contact their local dealer to perform the inspection.

Owners will receive a second notification once the replacement covers are available. Separately, Toyota has amended its recall from November 2009, adding three models to address the potential for unsecured or incompatible floor mat entrapment of the accelerator pedal. The models added include:

Approximately 603,000 2003 through 2009 4Runner Approximately 17,000 2008 through 2011 Lexus LX 570; and Approximately 761,000 2006 through 2010 RAV4

Owners of the involved 4Runner, LX 570, and RAV4 vehicles will receive an interim notification by first class mail beginning in the near future, informing them of the condition. Owners will receive a second notification once the recall preparations are complete.

Toyota and Lexus dealers will implement the newly announced and amended recall remedies at no charge to the vehicle owners.

Volvo S40/ V50/ C30

Type/number of model: Model Year 2007. Chassis numbers C30: 0000073-0010313 S40: 0250037-0296638 V50: 0270042-0313561 with engines B4164S3, B4184S8, B4184S11 and B4204S3.

Fire

The product poses a risk of fire because water could penetrate into the electric cooling fan control unit and this could result in a short circuit and, in the worst scenario, a fire. Since the fan is permanently connected to the battery voltage, a fire could occur when the vehicle is parked, with the ignition switched either on or off.

Four incidents of fires reported in Sweden.

Mitsubishi Outlander

Type/number of model: CW0W. The recall concerns model year 2007-2008 vehicles without power seats, produced until January 29, 2008.

Fire

The product poses a risk of fire because some vehicles without power seats have an unused power seat connector under the front seats, which is powered even when the ignition is switched off. If snow and road salt penetrate the housing of this connector, corrosion of the connector terminals can occur, leading to the possibility that the connector will melt due to burning.

Peugeot 4007

Type/number of model: The recall concerns certain vehicles with VINs from VF3VVSFZC8U907717 to VF3VVSFZF8U910604.

Fire

The product poses a risk of fire because on affected vehicles, electrical connectors intended to supply the electric front seats fitted to some versions are not used and are located under the rear footwell floor carpets. If these connectors come into contact with water and road salt, they may corrode over time and cause localised electrical overheating.

Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.4L

Type/number of model: Grand Vitara 2.4L (JB424). The recall concerns vehicles produced from 02.06.2008 to 20.10.2010, with VINs from JSAJTDA4V00100061 to JSAJTDA4V00201579.

Injuries

The product poses a risk of injuries because the internal spring of the tension adjuster for the drive belt (that operates the generator, water pump, air conditioner compressor, and power steering pump) may break. As a consequence, the tension of the drive belt will not be adjusted and, in the worst case, the belt may come off the power steering pump pulley and driver will need increased effort to steer the vehicle which could lead to a road accident.
