BEIJING, July 31 (Reuters) – Toyota’s joint venture with GAC will fix software for 39,552 bZ7 electric sedans from August 1 over safety hazards, China’s market regulator said on Friday.
The action, classified as a product recall under Chinese regulations, affects 15,266 bZ7 EVs with faulty smart Bluetooth module software that may cause unintended gear shifts while driving, disrupting power delivery.
It also covers 24,286 vehicles with defects in the thermal management controller software that could, in extreme cases, reduce defrosting and defogging performance, affecting driver visibility, the regulator said in a statement.
