Maextro V800's Brake Pedal Bracket Fails in Emergency Braking Tests

Independent testing found the brake pedal bracket on the $150,000 Maextro V800 minivan failed during simulated emergency stops from 62 mph, with three separate cars affected. JAC's Maextro said it is unaware of such failures in customer cars but will redesign the bracket and offer owners a free upgrade.

• Brake pedal bracket failed on three V800s during 62-mph emergency braking tests
• The polypropylene and 40% glass fiber part lacks reinforcements and has a long 5.1-inch pivot arm
• Maextro will optimize the bracket design and give owners a free upgrade
• The V800 is a range-extender EV with a 65-kWh CATL battery and 523-hp dual-motor setup
