Earlier this month, the Russian Federal Service for Technical and Export Control (FSTEC) withdrew the Vehicle Type Approval (VTA) for the Shaanxi Automobile Group's SX3258 truck model, effectively halting its sale in Russia. The FSTEC highlighted that the model fell short of Russia's stringent standards for wheeled vehicles, particularly in the areas of noise control, rear impact protection, and side protection devices, thereby presenting potential safety risks. Consequently, the manufacturer has been mandated to promptly devise a recall plan encompassing all 15,000 imported trucks of this model, including 2,170 vehicles that are currently in operation.
