In response, the Smart official responded:
After the incident, we immediately arranged for the after-sales service team to assist Mr. Yu to solve the relevant situation. At present, the vehicle has returned to normal.
At the same time, we set up a technical expert group to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle. According to the technical inspection report, the situation is caused by the failure of the electronic valve circuit board that controls the cooling circulating water.
The fault will lead to a rise in the water temperature of the vehicle. When the temperature monitoring system detects an anomaly, the vehicle will actively limit the speed to avoid fault escalation, so as to protect the occupants and the safety of the vehicle.
Smart investigated all batches of electronic valve circuit boards that caused the failure. Since 2018, nearly 100,000 electronic valve circuit boards have been used in the industry, and only one case has been found. At the same time, the supplier of the electronic valve circuit board is required to optimize the production and testing process in order to prevent similar situations from happening again.
