大眾因安全氣囊問題擬在華召回486萬輛汽車

Volkswagen and its joint venture partners in China will recall 4.86m vehicles in the country because of faulty airbags, China’s quality watchdog has said.

中國質(zhì)量監(jiān)管機構(gòu)表示，由于安全氣囊缺陷問題，大眾(Volkswagen)及其中國合資企業(yè)伙伴將在中國召回486萬輛汽車。

The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said that the airbags were made by Takata, the Japanese automotive supplier at the centre of a global recall of exploding airbags. The recall will begin in March 2018.

中國國家質(zhì)檢總局表示，問題安全氣囊是由日本汽車零部件供應商高田(Takata)生產(chǎn)的。該公司處于一場由安全氣囊爆炸引發(fā)的全球性召回行動的中心。召回將于2018年3月開始。

Earlier this month, the Chinese regulator said that more than 1.8m Volkswagen cars with faulty fuel pumps would be recalled.

本月早些時候，這家中國監(jiān)管機構(gòu)表示，逾180萬輛燃油泵存在缺陷的大眾汽車將被召回。

The German company sold a record 22.9 million cars in China in the 2016 financial year, an 18 per cent increase from the previous 12 months and driving record global sales of 81.1 million.

在2016財年，這家德國公司的在華銷量達到了創(chuàng)紀錄的2290萬輛，同比增加18%，推動公司全球銷量達到創(chuàng)紀錄的8810萬輛。

Recalls linked to the Takata-made airbags in the US alone total at least 28m. The company’s airbag inflators can explode when deploying, scattering shrapnel into the face of a driver or passenger.

僅僅在美國，由高田安全氣囊問題引起的總召回量至少有2800萬輛。高田生產(chǎn)的安全氣囊氣體發(fā)生器在展開時可能發(fā)生爆炸，導致碎片飛到駕駛員或乘客的臉上。
