JAC Motors issues statement on third-party inspection of Zunjie V800 brake pedal
JAC Motors released a statement on the Zunjie V800 brake pedal controversy. The statement disclosed that on October 11, 2026, a nationally accredited third-party testing organization inspected the Zunjie V800 brake pedal, which met industry standard QC/T 788-2018 (longitudinal force 1500N, displacement below 5mm) and showed no cracks or damage under escalated testing to a 3000N longitudinal force. Responding to a prior Dongchedi test issue without disputing the test conditions, the company said its braking system was developed and validated above national and industry standards, that no brake pedal bracket base fracture failures had occurred in real user use since first deliveries, and announced it would further optimize the component design, offer a free upgrade option to delivered users, and conduct a systematic review and reinforcement of design validation, test boundaries, and production quality management.
