Sagitar rear axle fracture controversy and large-scale recall
In 2014, safety issues with the rear axle of the FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar led to complaints and a recall. In 2015, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine announced the results of its defect investigation, determining that the fracture problem of the relevant rear axle trailing arms constituted a defect. The incident was limited to recalled vehicles equipped with the relevant rear axle structure and did not involve all Volkswagen models.
