Under the supervision of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, Kumho (China) Tire Sales Co., Ltd. announced that since April 15, it has recalled a total of 302,673 problem tires in 7 batches produced at its Tianjin plant. This will be the first occurrence of a tire recall since China implemented a defective vehicle product recall system on October 1, 2004. This move means that the Chinese government pays close attention to the quality of tire products, and the strict supervision of the curtain opened.
In recent years, lawless elements have produced and distributed fake and inferior tires in large quantities, and have shirked their responsibility for problems to consumers. As a result, cutting tires, rebranding tires, and non-three-bag tires flood the market. In particular, not "three guarantees" tires, initially only tire service is not "Three Guarantees", and now evolved into a direct production of simply cut corners, shoddy not "three guarantees" tires. The chaos in the domestic tire market has laid a major hidden danger for people's lives and property.
After the Kumho tire incident was exposed, AQSIQ urged Kumho Tire Co. to recall tires in question. At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce jointly launched a special rectification campaign on tire products for nearly 2 months, and included tires as key products. State Department "doubles" special action plan. The specific rectification action plans issued by the three departments clearly pointed out that this action aims to strengthen the supervision of product quality in the automotive tire industry, and crack down on unlicensed production, unlicensed operations, shoddy goods, false positives and other illegal actions to create a good car consumption. Market environment, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and consolidating the good development momentum of the automotive market.
In addition to government-level actions, consumer associations and consumer committees in 15 cities including Beijing, Chongqing, Wuhan, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Changchun, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Kunming and other countries have recently called for management departments to abandon tires as soon as possible. Industry practice outside the scope of quality guarantee responsibility, this so-called industry practice, has escaped the responsibility of the entire vehicle company for consumers to undertake the warranty, but also gave up the responsibility for the supervision of the upstream parts supplier product quality, and encouraged the upstream Component suppliers do not engage in fraud, shoddy and other illegal activities to reduce costs.
More experts have suggested that China should learn from foreign experience and step up the development of a practical regulatory system. For example, in Europe and the United States, the road traffic control department will collect maintenance documents from the auto repair shop, in order to count what parts the vehicle owner repairs and detect the failure rate of the vehicle model. In addition, traffic accidents will be registered and a database will be established so that vehicles with higher accident rates can be identified. According to the statistical results, the quality of the vehicle is accurately identified.
