    SAIC-GM-Wuling announces recall of Baojun and Wuling vehicles

    Recall announced

    SAIC-GM-Wuling announced a planned recall of 1,436,997 vehicles across specified Baojun and Wuling models, scheduled to begin on August 2, 2021. The notice says a crankcase forced-ventilation valve may wear prematurely, increasing oil consumption and potentially causing engine damage; continued use may also pose an unreasonable emissions risk. The company said it would replace the valve with an improved part free of charge.

    Stated objective. To eliminate the safety and unreasonable emissions risks.
