**Over 1,000 Baojun Yep Recalled in China Due to Electronic Brake System Issue**
According to Carnewschina, the SGMW joint venture has recently announced a recall of 1,116 Baojun Yep electric vehicles after receiving reports from the China Market Regulation Administration regarding a potential fault that could increase the risk of accidents. The affected vehicles were produced between April 20 and June 14, 2023.
The reports indicate that the software within the Electronic Brake System (EBS) of the recalled vehicles may malfunction, causing the system to operate inaccurately and potentially compromising the safety of occupants.
SGMW will address this issue by upgrading the EBS software in the affected vehicles. Recall notices will be sent to customers via phone calls, emails, or other forms of communication.
In late 2024, TMT Motors, a partner of the SGMW joint venture, revealed plans to distribute the small electric car Baojun Yep in Vietnam. According to sources, this minicar is expected to be priced at approximately 300 million VND.
The Baojun Yep has overall dimensions of 3,381 mm in length, 1,685 mm in width, and 1,721 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,110 mm and a weight of 1,006 kg. Similar to its rival VF 3, the Baojun Yep boasts a boxy design inspired by off-road SUVs.
The Baojun Yep is equipped with a single electric motor that delivers 67 horsepower and a maximum torque of 140 Nm, paired with a rear-wheel drive system.
