VinFast recalls more than 2,000 cars for error correction

VOV.VN - Vietnam’s leading electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast has announced a recall of 2,097 cars in the country to check and replace components for free.

The recall is applicable to VFe34, VF5 Plus, VF6 Plus, VF8 and VF9 models, VinFast said in an announcement.

Among the 2,097 affected cars, 23 of the VFe34 and 131 VF5 Plus models were manufactured from September 9, 2023 to April 11, 2024. Their bolts securing the cover plate above the high-voltage battery may become loose, leading to the risk of reducing water resistance.

The recall programme lasts from May 24 to July 10, and it will take the engineers nearly four hours to fix the error.

For 47 VF6 Plus cars, produced from March 18 to April 9, the brake fluid pipe connector may crack, causing brake fluid leakage.

When the brake fluid level drops below the minimum threshold, a warning will appear on the control screen and this will reduce the effectiveness of the braking system.

The error is expected to be fixed in two hours.

Meanwhile, 1,134 vehicles of the VF8 and VF9 (Eco and Plus models) manufactured from August 2022 to March 2024, may be equipped with airbags of the wrong type in certain locations. After the vehicle runs for about 10,000 km, an airbag error warning will appear on the screen, requiring an inspection.

Currently, VinFast has reported the recall programme to the Vietnam Register and it will notify each affected vehicle owner.
