Dongchedi Denies Viral ‘Extreme Condition’ Brake Test Claim After V800 Pedal Bracket Breaks

The dispute is less about the fracture itself than about who defines a valid test: Dongchedi frames highway-speed braking as ordinary use, which shifts the burden onto the manufacturer to explain why a bracket failed repeatedly at one point. That matters for the V800's safety narrative and for how Chinese outlets' evaluation methods are received by automakers. Whether the failure is confirmed as a design issue, and how the brand responds, is the open question.
