Zunjie V800 brake pedal brackets snap in 3-car test, Huawei silent

KEY FACTS

  • On October 8, Dongchedi tested three Zunjie V800s, and the pedal brackets broke on all of them during consecutive full-force braking.
  • One of the new cars had driven only 3 kilometers when its brake pedal broke on the second braking event.
  • At the moment of failure, peak pedal force was about 1612 newtons, and braking distance grew from 38 meters to more than 140 meters.
  • Zunjie said that night that the test was a non-standard extreme condition and that it would upgrade the part free of charge for owners.
  • Two days after the incident, JAC Motors' market value had evaporated by nearly 11.8 billion yuan, while Huawei made no public response.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Three cars breaking at the same location points to a systemic defect, and the free upgrade is in effect a disguised recall. Huawei's silence exposes the responsibility vacuum in HIMA: the brand premium belongs to Huawei, the legal liability belongs to JAC, and consumer trust has nowhere to rest. Once this precedent is set, the premium on every Huawei-affiliated model will be reexamined.
