有6个claim就recall了，特斯拉却永远没有这种事，只不停地修。
The driveshaft is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the
driven wheels. Without it, you won't be doing much driving. That's the part
behind Ram's latest recall.
Ram has issued a voluntary recall for 10,160 examples of the 2018-2019 Ram
1500 light-duty pickup truck. The vehicles in question carry build dates
between March 16, 2018 and April 20, 2018. Vehicles not included in this
recall have different part numbers for the suspected defect or were built
outside the window of suspected defects.
The problem comes from the rear driveshaft. According to documents filed
with the federal government, an incomplete weld between the rear driveshaft
tube and the tube yoke might cause the weld to crack and fracture the
driveshaft. If this happens, the driveshaft might hit the ground while
driving, and in addition to a loss of motive force, the dragging shaft might
cause road debris. Ram said in the recall documents that noise or
vibrations might preview the weld's failure.
Here's how Ram found out about the problem. The automaker launched an
investigation based on six warranty claims of broken driveshafts, since the
trucks in the claims were all built a month of one another. Analyzing the
broken bits pointed to the insufficient weld mentioned in the recall, and
after some more digging, Ram found the right batch of vehicles to recall
voluntarily. The automaker is unaware of any accidents or injuries related
to the issue.
The fix is about as easy as you might think. Upon receiving the recalled
vehicles at dealerships, Ram's technicians will replace the rear driveshaft
with one that is proven to have "complete weld fusion," which should
eliminate the potential for fracture. As with previous recalls, those who
paid out of pocket for a repair can seek reimbursement. Owners should expect
to receive recall notifications in the mail in mid-June. |
