Older Haval H6 Power Steering Pump Bracket Recall: Check Bracket Contact and Bolts Before Replacing the Pump

If an older H6 diesel has a power-steering problem, do not focus only on whether the pump itself has failed. A historical Chinese recall concerns the pump bracket and bolts. Checking the installation issue and remedy records first helps avoid turning a bracket-reassembly requirement directly into a pump order.

Installed bolts do not prove full bracket contact

A complete reproduction of the manufacturer's original recall notice says assembly error affected some power-steering pump bracket bolts, preventing the bracket from seating tightly against its supporting surface. During pump operation, the bolts may suffer fatigue fracture, creating a risk of power-steering pump failure. [Complete reproduction of manufacturer notice][S16]

Distinguish bolts being present from the bracket being seated and secured as required. A pump remaining in position, or confirmation that bolts exist, cannot alone rule out the stated risk.

The stated actions are bracket reassembly and bolt replacement

The notice specifies reassembling the power-steering pump bracket and replacing its bolts. [Remedy][S16] It does not attribute the issue universally to internal pump wear or require complete pump replacement for every vehicle.

If the repair record says only “power-steering pump replaced,” check whether the specified bracket and bolts were addressed under the campaign. Conversely, because the remedy involves bolts, do not simplify it to tightening the old bolts. Replacement and reassembly are both explicit actions and should not disappear into “secured.”

Confirm the installation defect before deciding on additional parts

The pump, bracket and bracket bolts are separate purchasing needs. State the confirmed inspection findings rather than grouping them all as an assembly replacement under “power-steering abnormality.”

This notice also cannot replace inspection for other steering faults on the actual vehicle. Additional pump or other damage needs its own evidence. A bracket-assembly recall does not establish the same cause for every heavy-steering complaint.

Scope and verification

This article uses the Apr 27, 2013 Dazhongwang reproduction explicitly labelled as the manufacturer's notice in full. It describes a Chinese campaign beginning Apr 28, 2013, covering 13851 H6 diesel vehicles produced from Nov 22, 2011 to Nov 6, 2012. It is a reproduction of a historical notice, rather than a regulator's original table obtained in the source research. It does not extend to current H6 versions, other powertrains or overseas markets.

The original regulator-table link did not provide valid body text during the source research. The current complete reproduction does not list specific model years or VIN endpoints; no public data were available for either, and older proposal readings are not reused. An authorised party in China must confirm individual eligibility. No public data were available for bracket and bolt OE numbers, tightening values or interchangeability. [To be verified] Ordinary compatibility must be checked using the vehicle identification number (VIN) and local factory parts catalogue.

Once a power-steering pump mounting-parts requirement is confirmed, use the parts enquiry page.
