On October 13, owners of the Maextro V800 received a notice from the sales department titled "Maextro V800 Brake Pedal Testing Situation Explanation." The image was shared in multiple car owner groups, revealing the first third-party test report on the brake pedal. We also consulted the official 400 hotline, which repeatedly emphasized that Maextro's braking system is developed and tested according to higher standards than national and industry norms. If the vehicle has been shipped, it can be upgraded at no cost. If the vehicle has not been shipped, the upgraded brake pedal mounting bracket will be used directly. The report shows that on October 11, a recognized third-party testing institution conducted a test on the Maextro V800 brake pedal. According to the industry standard QC/T 788-2018, the mean displacement value under a 1500N longitudinal force test was 2.61mm, and all the tested items met the standard. Additionally, under the stricter test standard, the brake pedal assembly was visually inspected piece by piece after being loaded up to 3000N (loading speed at 20mm/min, holding for 5 seconds, and tested 5 times). No cracks or damages were found. After checking, this report was issued by the Testing Center of the China Automobile Engineering Research and Development Co., Ltd. The release of this explanation coincided with the sixth day of the "broken brake pedal" controversy surrounding the Maextro V800. On October 8, related media released a braking test video: From October 1 to 4, the test party conducted a continuous full-force braking test on three new Maextro V800s (produced in August and September, with one having a total mileage of only 3 km). The brake pedal mounting brackets broke down on the third, fourth, and second test attempts, respectively, with the breakage occurring at the same height and with similar fracture patterns. One of the breaks occurred when the pedal was subjected to 1612N of force. That evening, Maextro Automotive issued a statement, stating that the braking system has been fully developed and tested according to higher standards than national and industry norms, and there have been no incidents of the base seat of the brake pedal breaking during user use since the first batch of vehicles were delivered. They also referred to the test as "non-standard extreme test conditions" and announced plans to optimize the design of related components to provide free upgrades to users who have already received their vehicles. On October 11, Maextro's customer service confirmed to the media that the upgrade plan for the Maextro V800 brake pedal base seat would be confirmed by the end of October, and the upgrade would begin in November. The impact on the market was evident in the stock market: On October 8, Jianghuai Automobile closed at a 100% loss, and on October 9, it fell another 7.97%, with a total market value loss of about 11.767 billion yuan. Some pre-owned owners have also received delayed delivery notifications, stating that they need to wait for the upgrade and replacement of the brake pedal before they can pick up their vehicles.
