On October 18th, while loading and unloading goods, freight driver Mr. Chen stepped on the side pedal of the truck and the pedal suddenly broke, causing him to fall from a height of 1.5 meters and injuring his lumbar spine.
Mr. Chen stated that the truck had only been purchased for half a year and had previously noticed slight shaking of the pedals. However, contacting the manufacturer did not receive much attention. The reporter contacted the car company involved, and the staff responded that it was preliminarily judged that there was a welding process defect in the pedals. They will initiate a recall of 500 trucks in the same batch, replace reinforced pedals for free, and bear Mr. Chen's medical expenses. At present, the market supervision department has intervened in the investigation and urged enterprises to implement rectification measures.
