AvtoVAZ has decided to recall 9.3 thousand Lada Xray vehicles. This is stated in a message published on the Rosstandart website.
The reason for the recall of one of the most popular models is called possible problems with the steering. “9311 Lada Xray cars manufactured in the period from January to May 2019 are subject to recall. The reason for the recall of vehicles is possible damage to the weld seam of the electromechanical power steering shaft,” the organization said. Car repair will be done free of charge.
At the end of October 2020, a large-scale recall campaign affected 90,124 Lada Xray and Vesta models. In cars, the fuel line element could be damaged due to contact with the wire harness clamp.
Since the beginning of 2021, the cost of cars in Russia has grown by 2-5 percent. In particular, prices for Volkswagen cars increased by 2 percent on average, Hyundai added 15-50 thousand rubles, Audi – 2.2 percent. Mercedes’ cost growth was 5 percent, Volvo – 100 thousand rubles for basic configurations and 5 percent for options. Analysts believe that such dynamics is just the beginning, since not all sellers have yet reflected the fall of the ruble in prices.
As for Lada cars, in January they have risen in price by an average of two percent (10-39 thousand rubles). Lada Vesta station wagon began to cost 31 thousand rubles more, and in the Cross version – by 39 thousand. The price of Lada Vesta in the sedan body increased by 20 thousand rubles, and Lada Granta – by 10 thousand rubles. Lada XRay has grown in value by 10-19 thousand rubles, depending on the configuration.
