CARFAX: Number of Cars with Recalls ‘Alarmingly High’


Counterman

Recommended Posts

More than 2.5 million vehicles that have been tagged with “Do Not Drive” or “Park Outside” safety recalls remain unrepaired as of May 1, CARFAX data shows. Ten states have more than 70,000 of these vehicles driving on their roads, with California leading the way.

  • California: 245,000
  • Texas: 242,000
  • Florida: 237,000
  • New York: 118,000
  • Pennsylvania: 106,000
  • Ohio: 101,000
  • Georgia: 96,000
  • Illinois: 92,000
  • North Carolina: 85,000
  • Arizona: 71,000

“Despite efforts by state and federal governments – and the auto industry itself – too many consumers are driving in vehicles that have been deemed too dangerous to drive, or that shouldn’t be parked in or near a home for fear of a fire,” said Faisal Hasan, general manager for Data at CARFAX. “Officials and communities need to break through consumer recall notice fatigue and drive home the message: We can save lives today by getting these recalls fixed.”

“Do Not Drive” and “Park Outside” notifications are recalls issued by automakers and federal safety officials. A “Do Not Drive” recall advises drivers not to operate their vehicles because a serious safety issue could lead to an accident or physical harm. A “Park Outside” recall is issued for vehicles with a high risk of causing a fire, and owners are advised to park these vehicles outside of garages and parking structures, and away from buildings. These recalls are rarely issued.

There are about 200 separate models from various automakers, over multiple model years, for which “Do Not Drive” or “Park Outside” safety recalls have been issued.

      The friction coefficient refers to the ratio of friction force generated between the brake pad and disc to the normal force between them. High-temperature resistance is the ability to maintain stable friction coefficients and braking effects at high temperatures. These two indicators directly affect the brake pad’s performance and safety.
      When choosing the friction coefficient, it should be adjusted according to driving habits and road conditions. According to GB5763-2008, friction coefficient levels for automotive brake pads are classified as EE, EF, FF, FG, GG, with EE being the lowest and GG the highest. For ordinary family cars, FF or FG level is usually sufficient.

      If you are an automotive parts dealer, wholesaler, or middleman, finding a best toyota brake pad manufacturer with reliable quality, stable delivery times, timely supply, and a high level of professionalism can be extremely challenging. This task can be even more difficult than finding buyers because the products you purchase must meet the needs of your customers, who, in turn, are responsible to the end users. This makes your position particularly crucial.
      To find a highly suitable Toyota brake pads supplier, you need to conduct a thorough investigation and follow a series of steps to determine if cooperation is possible. As a professional brake pads factory with 24 years of foreign trading experience in producing brake pads, we have summarized some key points from our communications with clients. Understanding these points will make your search for a supplier much smoother and more efficient.
      Manufacturer or trading companies
      First, you need to determine whether you are dealing with a factory or a trading company. Naturally, most buyers prefer to cooperate with factories. There are some questions you need to clarify:
      If you want to understand them better, whether through a video call, meeting, or online website, it can be challenging to distinguish between a factory and a trading company. In such cases, if your order volume is significant, I suggest you visit their factory for an on-site inspection.
      Tips:Before visiting, you can do some preliminary work to understand their Chinese name, which will help you identify if the factory belongs to them. Generally, they won’t change the company name for such visits.
      OEM Toyota brake pads or Aftermarket Toyota brake pads
      When choosing between OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and aftermarket brake pads for your Toyota, it’s important to understand the differences. OEM brake pads are made by the manufacturer of your vehicle and are designed to match the specifications of your original brake pads. They offer reliability and a guarantee of quality.
      On the other hand, aftermarket brake pads are produced by third-party manufacturers and offer a wide range of options in terms of performance, materials, and price. While some aftermarket pads can exceed OEM specifications, it’s crucial to research and select reputable brands to ensure safety and effectiveness.
      Each option has its pros and cons, so consider factors such as budget, performance needs, and warranty before making a decision.
      Frenobrakes is an OEM brake pads supplier for Toyota and an aftermarket brake pads manufacturer for Toyota if you have Toyota Permission or your brand, Frenobrakes can meet your requirements, we have 3 brake pads types with covering 98% of brake pads for Toyota vehicles. Just contact us to talk about the details
      Toyota Brake pad types
      Check if the supplier offers the regular types of brake pads: ceramic, low metallic, and semi-metallic. Different companies have different formulations, which can be distinguished by the color of the brake pads.
      Toyota vehicles types
      As everyone knows, Toyota models are the most prevalent in the global vehicle market today. Models such as the Toyota Camry, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Prius, Toyota Avalon, and Toyota Tundra often have different brake pads.
      Here’s a tip: don’t provide the exact model to the supplier and ask them to quote the appropriate brake pads for that model. There are too many variations, and even for a single model, the brake pads may differ depending on the production year. Therefore, you need to compile a list of all the brake pad models you require. You can provide them with the brake pad codes, which can be FMSI, OE, TRW, etc., and we can match them to the corresponding company model.
      When the supplier provides a quote, check if they have the models you need, or only some of them, or very few. If they have only a few models, I recommend not cooperating with them because you won’t be able to find all the necessary models to better serve your customers. Not all models can be covered, but molds can be made if the volume justifies it.
      Ask for Price
      Regarding the price of Toyota brake pads, buyers tend to be quite sensitive. You should use your judgment to find a few suitable suppliers for quotes. However, if the price is too low, we do not recommend making a purchase because the quality is likely to be compromised. We understand very well that the basic material costs do not differ significantly. If the price is low, it could mean that the steel backing material is insufficient, or important materials are missing and replaced with cheap fillers. Would you dare to purchase such brake pads? Therefore, the prices generally should not vary much.
      Ask for samples
      Requesting samples is essential for testing purposes, including road tests and equipment testing (if conditions allow). Here’s a statement you should make clear to the supplier: if we decide to cooperate, you must ensure that the sample quality is the same as the actual order quality; otherwise, you will bear all the losses. This can be written into the contract. This is also the promise we at Frenobrake make to our customers. If a supplier dares to make this promise, you can generally trust that their product quality is reliable.
      Check Certificates
      Of course, customers from Europe generally require  link hidden, please login to view like EMARK, AMECA, and IATF 16949. Even if they don’t specifically ask for these, it is still advisable to check. You need to know that companies with these certifications typically have strong capabilities, whereas small-scale factories usually do not. This can help you eliminate some suppliers. It is essential to verify these certifications as there is always a risk of forgery.
      Frenobrake provides a full set of certifications, which is very beneficial for expanding your business. Additionally, we have 983 EMARK models, which generally meet the needs of most buyers.
      Communication
      Communication allows me to clearly gauge the other party’s level of professionalism. As we seek partners, we place a high value on their expertise. Through communication, we can clearly understand the other party’s professional knowledge. If it is poor, we do not recommend cooperating with them, as they are likely to be unable to adequately address issues that may arise later. This is something we must take seriously.
      Trial orders
      Start with small orders to evaluate the supplier’s cooperation and coordination. After a period of adjustment and collaboration, you will be able to clearly determine if they are a genuine partner for cooperation.

      Although hybrids have been around for more than 20 years, many shops are not familiar with the risks of high-voltage vehicles or are not comfortable working on or around them. To address this concern, the National Institute for
      link hidden, please login to view (ASE) said it is offering a testing and certification program for electrified propulsion vehicle (xEV) high-voltage safety, including light-duty and medium-/heavy-duty hybrid and electric vehicles.  This industry-developed program provides two options to certify shop personnel based on their involvement with xEVs. Industry standards accompany both certifications and are intended to be used in conjunction with high-voltage vehicle safety training. Training managers have found that technicians who have attained xEV certification have increased confidence and lower anxiety while working on hybrid and electric vehicles.
      The test can be completed online, ASE said. Once the test is passed, the test-taker receives an electronic credential and a certificate that can be downloaded and printed for display.
      The xEV Electrical Safety Awareness Certification (Level One) certification is designed for anyone who may encounter xEV in the workplace, including individuals who perform tasks near electric-powered vehicles, such as sales, service, repair and support, ASE said. Level One individuals require high-voltage electrical safety awareness to identify the hazards and reduce the associated risks when working on or near xEVs or near high-voltage components of electrified propulsion vehicles.
      Skills performed by Level One individuals may include: operating (driving) a hybrid or electric propulsion vehicle; performing maintenance and repairs not related to high-voltage systems or their components; handling non-high-voltage components of electrified propulsion vehicles and working near electric-powered vehicles or high-voltage components of electrified propulsion vehicles.
      The xEV Technician Electrical Safety Certification (Level Two) certification is for those service professionals, technicians or specialists who have received high-voltage electrical training; have demonstrated skills and knowledge related to the construction, operation and repair of electrically powered high-voltage vehicles; maintain an electrically safe working area and use required personal protective equipment. They have also received safety training to identify the hazards and reduce the associated risk.
      Skills performed by Level Two repair professionals may include: evaluating and classifying the condition of the high-voltage battery and high-voltage electrical system; isolating the voltage from the high-voltage systems and checking the isolation from the supply; securing the high-voltage system against being activated; re-starting the high voltage system; performing general work on de-energized high-voltage systems and components and assessing the risk of high-voltage vehicles that were involved in an accident.
      “Today, shops must consider the exposure and liability related to servicing hybrid and electric vehicles,” Dave Johnson, ASE president and CEO, said. “The ASE xEV certifications should be a critical component of a shop’s high voltage safety training. The standards were developed to keep shop personnel safe and earning the credentials is a great way for shops to showcase the ability of their knowledgeable staff to work on high voltage vehicles.”
