七万四千辆Myvi 召回

（万挠16日讯）第二国產车以「预防措施」名义，召回7万4000辆2011年3月至2012年3月出產的新款迈威（Myvi），更换电动助力转向系统（EPS）內的转向柱。

这项召回行动是確保新款迈威的车主享受车辆的最佳性能。

第二国產车董事经理拿督阿米纳尔指出，这项召回行动是必要的，因为涉及汽辆的性能可能不是最佳，会在低转速时影响驾驶人。

他指出，根据该公司的研究，目前的情况是电动助力转向系统的传感器接通时，在每小时30至40公里之间的车速，驾驶者可能会感觉到轻微的沉重感。

「这可暂时通过熄掉引擎后再重新启动汽车来解决。然而，为了一个永久性的修復，消除客户面对的任何可能风险，我们恳请客户到全国170家服务中心预约，以更换电动助力转向系统的转向柱。」

阿米纳尔表示，该公司已致函予受影响的车主。

他表示，更换转向柱只须80分钟，而第二国產车会承担所有的更换费用。

Perodua Myvi ‘Preventive Measure Campaign’ to fix EPS steering column – 74,000 units involved

Perodua is initiating a “Preventive Measure Campaign” recall for 74,000 new Myvi variants produced between March 2011 and March 2012 to replace the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) column of the car.

“We apologise for the inconvenience caused to our customers but this campaign is necessary as the car’s performance may not be at its best and could partially compromise the driver’s response time at low speeds,” Perodua MD Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said.

He added that based on studies conducted by Perodua, the problem could be detected when the EPS indicator is lit, after which, the driver would feel slight steering heaviness at speeds of between 30 km/h and 40 km/h. This issue can be temporarily fixed by switching off the engine and restarting the car.

“However, for a permanent fix and to eliminate any possibility of risk to our customers, we kindly request that an appointment to be made at any of our 170 service centres nationwide for the replacement of the EPS column,” Aminar urged.

After making an appointment at a service centre, a customer will be given a briefing on the replacement of the EPS column. The exercise will take approximately 80 minutes. The campaign time frame is open ended, but Perodua is encouraging customers to bring their Myvi in as soon as possible. All costs will be absorbed by the carmaker.

Perodua has already issued notification letters to affected customers.
