2013:全球車界這一年
????品質第一 ????今年6月,克萊斯勒公司(Chrysler)終于承認了一個歷史遺留的設計問題。它召回了260萬輛1993-2004年間生產的吉普大切諾基(Jeep Grand Cherokees)和2002-2007年生產的自由者(Liberty,見上圖),因為這些車的燃油系統存在隱患,發生追尾事故時可能引發火災。但這類問題迄今還在困擾著福特這樣的老牌廠商。自從大受追捧的翼虎(Escape)2013年經過全新設計上市后,它已經第七次被召回了。這七次中有一次就是為了修復上一次召回引起的新問題。 |
????Quality is Job 1 ????In June, Chrysler owned up to legacy design issues when it recalled 2.6 million 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees and 2002-2007 Liberty models (2007 above) due to a potential fuel-system problem that could cause fires in a rear-end crash. But it was modern-day faults that flummoxed Ford, which recalled the Escape for the seventh time since the popular crossover was redesigned in 2013. One of the seven recalls was to fix problems caused by repairs for a previous recall. |
