A few days ago, Bao Junyue, which caused a hot discussion among netizens, also braked, and Baojun Automobile has now drawn a successful conclusion for it.
The recall announcement issued by Baojun Automobile shows that this recall involves a total of 1,116 Baojun Yueye models produced from April 20 to June 14, 2023.Due to a specific batch of software bugs, the vehicle may have the risk of brake assist failure on a specific date.
In view of the above situation, Baojun has upgraded and verified the EBS software of these vehicles on January 1, 2025 to ensure the safe use of the vehicles.
Did Bao Junyue really have a brake failure? The answer is no.
As can be seen from the video shared by Yueye owners, the braking effect is not obvious when the vehicle steps on the brake pedal, and it feels like it is out of order.
However, this is not the case. According to the official statement of Baojun Automobile, the vehicle with limited brakes was degraded due to a software bug, and the brake pedal became heavy because it failed to provide enough brake assistance to the driver.Many drivers found that the vehicle did not slow down immediately after stepping on the brake pedal as usual, and thought that the brake system was out of order.
In terms of mechanical structure, almost 99.9% of the ebooster brake booster system will not completely fail, because after the initial motor assist, the ebooster’s assist piston is also directly mechanically connected with the brake hydraulic oil circuit.Even after the motor assist fails, the driver can also achieve the braking effect by pressing the brake pedal hard.
Although it is necessary to step on the brake pedal at this time, there will still be braking force acting on the wheels, thus reducing the injury of safety accidents. For car owners who don’t know this operation method, this pot must be carried by car companies. After all, it involves safe driving instructions, and we can’t emphasize it too much. All car companies that use the ebooster electronic brake assist system need to increase the popularity of relevant brake knowledge.
Back to the Yueye braking incident itself, Baojun actually made a safe backup when dealing with the extreme scene of brake assist failure.
When the brake assist fails, the affected car owners can see the sign of "Little Turtle" on the dashboard, which means that the vehicle has entered the speed limit mode, and the vehicle automatically limits the power output to avoid the failure to slow down in time after high-speed driving.In fact, this has greatly reduced the safety risk of vehicles.
For the affected car owners, Baojun also made a detailed explanation. The vehicles with limited braking assistance were small-scale events, involving a total of 1116 vehicles.
After the incident, Baojun intervened at the first time. On January 1, the EBS software of these vehicles was upgraded and verified to ensure the safe use of the vehicles, completely eliminating the risk of brake assist failure, and the owners need not worry about the recurrence of such failures in future use.
One-on-one communication and light speed recall reflect Baojun’s user responsibility and responsibility.
For the automobile industry, an accidental bug caused by brake assist failure may be just a small splash on the technical level. But for the affected car owners, it is an event related to their own safety. It is out of the attitude of being responsible to users that Baojun Automobile immediately conducted incident analysis and investigation after the incident.
On the day of the owner’s feedback, Baojun contacted the affected owners one-on-one at the first time and dragged the vehicle to the brand after-sales center for testing, which also minimized the safety risks that the braking incident might bring to users.
Now, after solving the brake failure of the vehicle and recalling it, Baojun announced the loss caused by the failure of brake assist.The manufacturer shall bear all the responsibilities and try to eliminate the adverse effects of this incident on the owner.
From another perspective, with the development of China’s automobile industry for so many years, such incidents often occur. For example, in the case of the recall of Li ONE’s half-axle, 10,000 sets of Li ONE were ideally recalled.
As for the more concerned Tesla braking incident, although Tesla officially never confirmed that the brakes had failed, in 2023, it recalled 1.1 million cars in China and made three major adjustments and optimizations to the braking system.
These two recalls, which were very sensational at that time, did not affect the ideal and later became the new power sales crown, and Tesla won the pure electric sales crown in China.Treating the recall action of car companies requires more rational treatment.
In fact, the electrification and intelligentization of intelligent networked vehicles are new things, and China car companies have reached the forefront of the world in this respect. There is no stone to cross the river in front of them, and they are facing the rapid development iteration and application of new technologies, so it is understandable to be concerned. However, when problems arise, the manufacturer’s responsible attitude towards users is not to shirk or evade responsibility.
Judging from the braking incident, Baojun did not look on coldly after discovering the problem, nor did he choose the cold treatment that has been tried and tested in the public relations industry. Instead, he intervened in the first time to effectively solve the safety risks of users and recall them at the speed of light. Behind this series of high-efficiency and low-profile initiatives,It also reflects the responsibility and responsibility of domestic car manufacturers to users, and is worthy of the heavy trust of car owners and friends when they deliver new cars and take over the car keys.
