The reporter recently learned from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine that since 2017, as of December 28, the major domestic automobile product manufacturers have implemented a total of 251 recalls of defective automobile products, recalling 22,800 defective vehicles and breaking the foundation of 10 million vehicles in 2016. In addition, it increased by 77%, hit a new high, and refreshed the annual recall record for the fourth consecutive year.
"China's automobile recall work has a history of 14 years of development. In the past five years, the recall work of automobiles has grown by leaps and bounds. Thanks to the administrative regulations of the "Regulations on the Management of Defective Automobile Products Recalled" issued by the State Council in October 2012, it has borrowed from the international convention. The practice, combined with the reality of our country, is very operative.†Yan Fengmin, director of the Law Enforcement Supervision Department of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said that since its official implementation in January 2013, the number of car recalls accounted for 83% of the total number of 14 years.
Car recalls have advanced by leaps and bounds in the past five years
According to Yan Fengmin, since the implementation of the defective automobile product recall system in China in 2004, a total of 1548 vehicle recalls have been implemented, and 56.738 million defective vehicles have been recalled. In terms of the overall number, almost one out of every four vehicles in China has been recalled.
In the past three years, the number of annual defective car recalls in China was 5.586 million, 11.35 million and 22.848, respectively, with an annual increase of more than 50%. The annual recall has far exceeded the developed countries of Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan and other automobile markets. Second only to the United States, it ranks second in the world.
“The vast majority of consumers are increasingly aware of the right to know, participate, supervise and express themselves in the exercise of product safety issues. The complaints of defects, participation in defect investigations, supervision recalls and the expression of opinions are increasing, and the supervision of the recall is extremely Big support." Yan Fengmin said.
In addition, the defective product recall activities triggered by the AQSIQ defect investigation and administrative interviews continue to occupy a high proportion. In the past five years, the recall of automobile products affected by the survey accounted for 64% of the total number. In 2017, the automotive products exceeded 70%, and consumer goods. More than 90%.
Yan Fengmin also introduced that 58% of the 251 defective car recalls implemented this year were global recalls, and relevant producers actively ensured that global recalls were simultaneously released in the Chinese market and implemented simultaneously. At the same time, in recent years, more and more global recalls triggered by China's defect investigations, such as fuel pump defect investigations, prompted Volkswagen to recall 1.818 million vehicles in China and triggered a global recall.
"In particular, in the major recalls of industry, cross-brand and globalization, defect investigations and administrative interviews have played an important role in promoting the safety and legitimate rights and interests of Chinese consumers," said Yan Fengmin.
Relatively concentrated car defect problems
A major feature of this year's car recall is the relatively concentrated problem of car defects. The number of recalls of airbags and seat belt assemblies accounted for 53.1% of the total recalls, and the number of engine assembly recalls accounted for 20.4%. In addition, the number of steering system assemblies, electrical equipment assemblies, and body assembly recalls is also at the forefront.
This year, a large number of large-scale recalls were frequent, and some large-scale recalls were triggered by the same problem. The problem of automobile product defects was multi-brand, cross-regional, and centralized.
Up to now, a total of 38 auto companies have recalled 126 times due to the Takatian airbag incident, involving 19.516 million vehicles, which is the most recalled activity in recent years. Among them, in 2017 alone, there were 29 auto companies, recalling 36 times, involving 9.87 million vehicles.
In this regard, the head of the AQSIQ Defective Product Management Center said that in recent years, due to the abnormal rupture of Takata airbag gas generators, a large-scale recall has been triggered globally, and more than 100 million vehicles have been recalled in the global market, causing A wide range of social concerns.
“The Takata Airbag recall is the largest car recall event triggered by the same defect in recent years. At the same time, due to the large scale of global recall, insufficient supply capacity of parts and the bankruptcy and restructuring of Takada, the implementation of the recall activity. There is a certain complexity, and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine will be closely supervised as a key case." Wang Wei said.
Wang Wei revealed that according to the current situation, the supply of parts and components of some vehicle manufacturers has not yet been fully in place, and some recall activities have not yet been carried out immediately. According to the characteristics of Takata airbag defect problems, manufacturers will generally carry out the replacement of airbags for vehicles with earlier time-to-market and vehicles that are used in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine reminds the relevant vehicle owners that if the vehicle has abnormal rupture of the airbag or gas generator in the event of an accident, it should contact the production and operation personnel as soon as possible and report the situation to the Defective Product Management Center of the AQSIQ.
"From the current situation, because Takata has not yet reached an agreement with the relevant vehicle manufacturers on the issue of defect liability, the cost of most airbag recall activities in China is currently borne by the vehicle manufacturers. The protection of the rights and interests of Chinese consumers by the production companies and their emphasis on the Chinese market are worthy of recognition." Wang Wei said.
In 2018, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine will jointly promote the implementation of the motor vehicle emission defect recall system with the relevant departments, and extend the recall from safety recall and vehicle recall to environmental recall and parts recall.
