Budget-priced Chinese cars, utes and SUVs have components made of a*****estos
COMPONENTS made of a*****estos have thrown a shadow over the import of budget-priced Chinese cars.
Despite assurances from the companies Great Wall and Chery, a local check has revealed that close to 25,000 cars, utes and SUVs are potentially affected by a*****estos gaskets.
The presence of a*****estos has raised a major safety concern for bargain-basement brands that sell primarily on price.
In China, production has been stopped while the companies source alternate components. The Australian importer, Ateco Automotive, is waiting for a ruling by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission over a potential recall.
Ateco says its own investigation points to a relatively minor safety risk, mostly at the time of repairs or servicing at a dealership, but it refuses to comment on the chance of a safety recall.
