The Russian “National Automobile Union” came up with another initiative. Car giant Togliatti was asked to carry out a large-scale recall. The action should include simplified versions of
Rossiyskaya Gazeta informs us about the initiative, referring to a letter signed by its president Anton Shaparin, which was sent to the manufacturer. AvtoVAZ is asked to retrofit cars with the missing systems to improve road safety.
Recall that last year the factory workers produced simplified versions of their “iron horses”. For example, the LADA Granta left the assembly line without airbags, without ABS with electronic brake force distribution (EBD), without electronic stability control (ESC) and air conditioning. Later, the factory solved some problems. In September, Granta again received airbags and in October Niva received air conditioning.
The US believes that undermanned vehicles are a potential threat. That’s why they’re proposing a massive recall to get all machines understaffed. Will there be any benefit to a simple car enthusiast already driving a “simplified” car? Let’s figure it out.
To install the driver’s airbag, you must replace the entire steering column. In addition, you will need a control unit and shock sensors. The latter give a signal to activate the squib. Richer trim levels require a different front panel with a special tear zone for the passenger airbag. And the driver’s airbag is connected to ERA-GLONASS. These electronics will also have to be adapted.
Not everything is easy with ABS. This requires a valve body, new wheel bearings and sensors. Further. The craftsmen must remove the brake force regulator, change the location of the brake lines, and then change the location of the speed sensor. Eventually you will need to install a new engine control module and lots of wiring harnesses.
Installing an air conditioner in the Niva is also not an easy task. A radiator, compressor, hoses, pipes and other equipment are still needed. In general, all improvements are more than serious and not every dealer will implement them. In addition, they will be very expensive for the plant itself. In general, the people of Togliatti are unlikely to react in any way to the American initiative. Yes, and dealers will not do such complicated work for free.
Therefore, an ordinary motorist should not pay attention to the frankly dubious initiatives of the US. There certainly won’t be a freebie. The union simply advertises itself with such statements and deserves an appreciation in the field of information. Apparently the organization is not capable of really useful initiatives.
