媒体报道福特Kuga 1.6T自燃问题，南非已经召回

Ford Australia has still not committed to recalling Kuga 1.6 models — unlike in South Africa, where it has done so — despite several engine fires being reported locally.

Instead, Ford Australia says it is still speaking with affected owners (several of whom we have referred to higher levels of the company) and “investigating” whether it needs to call-in all Kugas with this engine for a fix.

First, some background. Ford’s South African division last week announced a recall on about 4500 Kugas after numerous reports of spontaneous fires starting in the engine bay, speculated to be a result of poor coolant circulation.

The vehicles in question all use the 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which was sold in Australian versions of the Ford Kuga as well. Moreover, both the South African and Australian-market Kugas came from the same plant in Spain.

生还几率不属于ABC里任何一项，所以跟是否召回无关

估摸着烧死了C会大一点？

死不死和赔多少关系不大。不是还有撞死比撞伤更划算的说法么

相比之下，C和法律对车厂的严格程度关系更大
同样的车同样的故障为啥在有的国家召回有的国家不召回？在召回的那些国家打官司更贵呗
