On October 8, 2026, Maextro said it would improve the V800’s brake-pedal bracket base and offer existing owners a free upgrade option. The announcement followed Dongchedi’s report that brackets fractured in all three V800s it tested during emergency braking from 100 km/h (about 62 mph) to a stop.
Maextro announces a planned bracket-base improvement
Maextro said it would improve the bracket-base design and offer existing owners a free upgrade. The company also said it had received no reports of similar fractures during customer use since deliveries began, and described the filmed test conditions as nonstandard and extreme.
What Dongchedi reported in the braking tests
Dongchedi reported fractures in three separate Maextro V800s during emergency stops. After a bracket fractured, normal foot-brake operation was reportedly unavailable; testers used emergency braking activated through the Park control to stop the vehicles.
