2013：全球車界這一年

????品質(zhì)第一

????今年6月，克萊斯勒公司（Chrysler）終于承認(rèn)了一個(gè)歷史遺留的設(shè)計(jì)問(wèn)題。它召回了260萬(wàn)輛1993-2004年間生產(chǎn)的吉普大切諾基（Jeep Grand Cherokees）和2002-2007年生產(chǎn)的自由者（Liberty，見(jiàn)上圖），因?yàn)檫@些車的燃油系統(tǒng)存在隱患，發(fā)生追尾事故時(shí)可能引發(fā)火災(zāi)。但這類問(wèn)題迄今還在困擾著福特這樣的老牌廠商。自從大受追捧的翼虎（Escape）2013年經(jīng)過(guò)全新設(shè)計(jì)上市后，它已經(jīng)第七次被召回了。這七次中有一次就是為了修復(fù)上一次召回引起的新問(wèn)題。

????Quality is Job 1

????In June, Chrysler owned up to legacy design issues when it recalled 2.6 million 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees and 2002-2007 Liberty models (2007 above) due to a potential fuel-system problem that could cause fires in a rear-end crash. But it was modern-day faults that flummoxed Ford, which recalled the Escape for the seventh time since the popular crossover was redesigned in 2013. One of the seven recalls was to fix problems caused by repairs for a previous recall.
