福斯因轉向系統螺絲腐蝕召回全球約460萬輛車

Quick Look

德國汽車大廠福斯因轉向機固定螺絲可能因水氣侵入腐蝕斷裂,影響轉向安全,召回全球約460萬輛車,涉及福斯、斯柯達、西雅特及奧迪Q3等品牌,問題源於MQB平台下零件共用策略,德媒調查顯示福斯早在2024年10月已收到首起案例,直至今年9月才啟動召回。

Why It Matters

福斯長年採用模組化橫置引擎平台(MQB),透過統一零件設計讓不同品牌車款共用零件以降低成本,此次召回凸顯該策略的潛在風險。

(中央社記者林尚縈柏林3日專電)德國汽車大廠福斯因轉向系統螺絲腐蝕,召回全球約460萬輛車。德媒調查指出,一顆螺絲之所以波及數百萬輛車,與福斯旗下不同品牌及車款大量共用零件有關,使這項降低成本的生產策略受到關注。

德國產經媒體「商報」(Handelsblatt)取得福斯(Volkswagen)向美國國家公路交通安全管理局(NHTSA)提交的召回文件,追查這起大規模召回事件,發現問題核心是一顆轉向機固定螺絲。

這顆螺絲可能因水氣侵入逐漸腐蝕,最終導致螺絲頭斷裂,最嚴重恐影響車輛轉向。根據德國聯邦汽車運輸管理局(KBA)資料,單是福斯品牌全球就有約216萬輛車受影響,其中德國近90萬輛;若計入其他集團品牌,全球召回規模約460萬輛。

此次召回不只涉及福斯品牌,也影響集團旗下斯柯達(Skoda)、西雅特(SEAT)及奧迪(Audi)Q3。保時捷(Porsche)及較大型奧迪車款因採用不同技術平台,不在召回範圍。

商報分析,一顆螺絲之所以能波及不同品牌與數百萬輛車,與福斯長年採行的模組化生產方式有關。

福斯旗下數十款燃油車採用「模組化橫置引擎平台」(MQB),透過統一部分車輛設計與零件規格,讓不同品牌、車款共用零件及生產技術,以降低研發及採購成本。

商報指出,共用零件雖能降低研發及採購成本,但一旦單一零件出現缺陷,也可能讓問題擴及更多車款。

面對汽車市場競爭加劇,福斯正推動大規模重整,透過整合旗下品牌的研發、生產及採購,減少重複投資、提高規模效益。

商報根據福斯內部人士透露指出,福斯管理層已宣布,未來將更進一步增加不同車款共用的零件數量。

商報取得的文件也顯示,福斯早在2024年10月就收到首起相關案例,當時一輛車出現螺絲腐蝕,造成螺絲頭及轉向機殼體破裂。2025年8月及12月又陸續出現類似案例。

福斯表示,初期只有少數案例可供分析,公司持續進行技術調查及風險評估。直到今年9月,福斯與奧迪的產品安全委員會認定可能存在安全缺陷,隨後決定啟動召回。(編輯:唐聲揚)

Japan introduces new rules to curb predatory recruitment practices targeting graduates

Japan has introduced new regulations to address predatory recruitment practices targeting graduates, particularly young women, after years of reports involving inappropriate interviews and pressure tactics. Campaigners welcome the change but argue the rules lack enforcement and came too late, as societal attitudes may have already evolved beyond the need for such measures.

After the central bank's seventh wave of selective credit controls, the amount of pre-sale housing cancellations in Taiwan reached 34.72 billion yuan, a new high for the same period in the past three years.

Since the central bank implemented the seventh wave of selective credit controls in September 2024, the cancellation of pre-sale housing contracts across Taiwan has increased significantly. According to statistics compiled by real estate agents, in the first half of this year, the number of cancellations for pre-sale houses in Taiwan reached 2,189, and the cancellation amount reached 34.72 billion yuan, both of which were the highest in the same period in the past three years. Industry players pointed out that the contract cancellation situation in the central and southern parts of the country is more serious than that in the north. Pre-sale construction projects with low down payments have become the first line of the cancellation wave. Some buyers would rather lose money and cancel the contract in advance than face the test of mortgage loan application after handing over the house.

The stock prices of Taiwanese IC substrate manufacturers Xinxing, Nanjing Electric and Jingshuo all hit highs, and the gap between supply and demand of ABF substrates expanded, pushing up profit expectations.

As the demand for AI servers, HPC and AI ASICs continues to grow, the ABF carrier board market has entered a new super cycle. The supply gap has expanded and prices have been pushed up by seasonal adjustments. The stock prices of the three major Taiwanese manufacturers, Xinxing, Nandian, and Jingshuo, simultaneously hit a record high last week, with single-week increases of 10.1%, 17.7%, and 9.1% respectively. Foreign investors predict that the rise in ABF carrier boards will continue until the fourth quarter of 2027, and the shortage will not be solved until 2028. Legal persons are optimistic that manufacturers' profits will rise simultaneously.
