As of January 1, 2013, the "Regulations on Recalling Defective Automobile Product Management Regulations" will be implemented on the ground. The regulations on tire recalls in the regulations have become a hot topic in the industry for the past year.
Article 27 of the Recall Regulations states that if there is a defect in the tires of the vehicle-mounted equipment, the manufacturer of the automobile products shall be responsible for the recall; if the tires of the unaccompanied vehicle are defective, the tire producer shall be responsible for the recall. This provision clarifies the accountability of the tire's problems. Compared with previous tire sales, the status of “headless and debtless†has made great progress.
However, the editor found out that there are still some ambiguous expressions in the determination of “defects†in tire products, which may cause this clause to be “pulled in and out of order†in the future implementation.
In the website of China Auto Recall, a professional website set up by the AQSIQ Defective Product Management Center for car recalls, we can see that the definition of “defects†is defined in the terminological interpretation of the “Regulations on Recalling Defective Automobile Productsâ€: Refers to the defects that are common in a batch, model, or category of automotive products due to design, manufacturing, etc., and specifically include the unreasonable dangers of automobile products that endanger the safety of people and property, and Comply with national standards and industry standards concerning automobile safety.
First of all, this statement does not clearly stipulate the timing of the defect discovery of tire products. Tires are easily wearable parts, and companies have different regulations on the length of warranty period for products. Then, is the product recall within the warranty period equivalent to other products? Is it possible to apply for a recall as long as the tire is found to be concentrated?
Tireworld.com has edited 400 phone calls from several tire companies and consulted on the warranty period of tires. The service personnel of Jiatong Tire said that the warranty period for Jiatong matching tires is generally stipulated by automobile manufacturers; the warranty period for replacing tires is “within 3 years from the date of productionâ€. Jinyu Tire's 400 service personnel said that the warranty period for the co-products is "within one year from the date of purchase." The Michelin staff member said that “there is no time limit, and you can contact the company at any time during the use of the company. The company will send someone to carry out tests and carry out appropriate processing according to the test results.â€
Second, it is a quantitative issue. In the concept of "defects", it is said that "for the sake of design, manufacturing, etc., there are common defects in a batch, model, or category of automotive products ..." What is "universal existence? "? Is it 30, 50, or 300, 500? There seems to be a lack of quantitative standards here. If tire manufacturers are required to establish their own thresholds, they may fall into the “self-testing†cycle.
In addition, by interacting with the experts of the recall network, the editors also learned that in 2004, the state had issued the "Defective Product Investigation and Certification Implementation Measures" to assist in the implementation of the "Defective Automobile Product Recall Regulations". The 2013 edition of the recall management regulations to be implemented on the ground will not yet have a new version of the defective product certification method that will be implemented. It will still follow the 2004 approach.
In this way, will there be unforeseen problems in the implementation due to asymmetric standards? The answer may only be seen when the regulations are implemented. When the editor asked how new investigations and certifications would be introduced, relevant people in the recall website replied that “the time is not yet setâ€.
Tire is the first component to be included in the Defective Vehicle Recall Regulation. This move has enabled the industry's after-sales service to move from a "barbarian" to a "rule of law." At the same time, however, since tires only appear as "supporting roles" in the entire ordinance, it is still a question whether this clause can be truly "grounded" and put into practice.
