"Car recall" came "car three bags" will be far behind

Recently, the State Council executive meeting reviewed and approved the “Defective Automobile Products Recall Management Regulations (Draft)”. At this point, the regulations drafted by the State Quality Supervision Department many years ago are finally expected to be implemented in the near future. From the original "regulations" to the current "regulations", this also means that "car recalls" have been upgraded from departmental regulations to national regulations.

The regulations stipulate that producers or operators who appear to “have not stopped production, sales, or import of defective automotive products” or “producers are ordered to recall and refuse to recall” will be sentenced to 2% or more and 10% or less of the value of defective automobile products. Fine. It is also worth mentioning that the draft of the consultations makes it clear that any unit or individual may complain to the quality inspection department of the State Council about possible defects in automotive products.

The imminent implementation of the "car recall" made people further see the dawn of "car three bags." On October 26, 2011, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China (AQSIQ) organized a hearing for the "Car Three Guarantees." At that time, rumored that it was difficult to coordinate the interests of all parties, it is expected that the “Car Three Guarantees” can only be implemented in the second half of 2012 as soon as possible. From the current point of view, there are more than two months from the end of the year. If the "fastest" expectations are met, the introduction of the "Car Three Guarantees" policy is not far off.

In the future, after the “car recall” and “car three packs” policies are in place, the voice rights of auto manufacturers, distributors, and consumers in the industrial chain will change, which will have a certain impact on the entire automobile industry chain.

The reason why they are all "certain" is because the magnitude of these changes and influences is still difficult to measure. The reason why this is said is that there is still a long way to go between “there is law to be followed” and “there is a law to be followed” and “law enforcement must be strict.” In fact, just after the recall management regulations passed, Toyota announced that it recalled approximately 7.43 million vehicles worldwide, involving 18 models such as the Camry and Corolla. This is the latest recall after Toyota recalled millions of cars in recent years. It was the largest single recall in the world since Ford recalled 7.9 million cars in 1996. With this recall, Toyota will recall about 2.47 million vehicles from the United States and recall about 1.4 million vehicles from China. Toyota said that the power window control buttons that are recalled near the driver's seat may not be smooth during operation. If improper lubricants are used during maintenance, the button contacts may overheat or emit smoke. To this end, Toyota will inspect the main window of the power window of the recalled vehicle. If there is a stuck phenomenon, replace the base plate of the main control switch; if there is no seizure, inject fluorine into the module of the main control switch base plate. grease.

It should be said that although the number of cars recalled by Toyota this time was large, it was still a minor problem and it could not immediately change the “customary” forgotten of foreign brands such as Toyota. For example, in 2011, Toyota had recalled 1.7 million cars worldwide because of the risk of oil leakage in some models, but China once again became a “forgotten corner” with a recall of zero. The problems of Audi's oil and Mercedes' formaldehyde problems have long been unresolved. In fact, those international brands that Chinese consumers are eager to follow and the attitude of Chinese consumers are "the people here are more stupid than money."

Of course, car recalls and car three-bags are not only for foreign brands, but also for independent brands. Therefore, after the implementation of the "recall system" and even the "three guarantees system," how to solve the "unresolved" perverse problem is the key. Among them, the certification of design defects and product quality issues is particularly critical. As car companies in the judgment of product quality problems, the mutatis mutandis is the law of the place of sale, and China's automobile quality system standards are not perfect for the foreign car companies that occupy the right to speak of the technology left a lot of space for flash. Therefore, after the promulgation and implementation of the Automobile Recall Ordinance, how to improve the legal “system” as soon as possible is even more important.
