"Kumho Tire Recall" Cannot Open "Bad Check"

If it is not clear as soon as possible that the main responsibility, put forward the implementation details, Kumho Tire's recall statement, it may become a dead letter. Many owners keep a promise but cannot get a guarantee

The CCTV “3·15” party was also exposed, and Shuanghui’s “Clenbuterol” incident received constant public attention. In contrast, the issue of Kumho Tire seems to cool down quickly with the manufacturer's recall promise and apology. Today, the recall statement has been issued for 10 days, but there has been no substantial progress in the recall. The recall details that “will be announced in these two days” have not yet appeared. The owners of the vehicles using Kumho Tire have no rights to participate in the recall. Dilemma. (According to Xinhua Finance on March 31)

"Clenbuterol" relates to food safety and is closely related to everyone. Continual attention is reasonable; in fact, the quality of Kumho tires is no less important than "lean meat." Food safety is related to health, but tire quality may be related to the safety of a car person. As long as poor quality tires exist for one day, there will be hidden dangers in life and public safety, which cannot be ignored. While many owners are unable to defend their rights, perhaps a new accident has already occurred. Before being exposed by CCTV, the owners of Kumho Tire discovered that the tires were cracked and they ran out of tires after running for 1,000 kilometers. After the announcement of the recall at Kumho, the vehicle manufacturers were busy with the problem tires. , Many 4S stores ignore the owner's replacement requirements. People are worried that the Kumho Tire Incident, known as the “First Case of Domestic Tire Recall”, will not only receive a “bad check”.

Therefore, the issue of Kumho Tires also needs to be solved as if it were “Clenbuterol”: A multinational company that occupies the largest share of the Chinese tire market, why it dared to use tires in life-related tires regardless of reputation and credit. Low-quality plastic, after the issue was exposed, also all kinds of repudiation; many well-known domestic vehicle manufacturers, in order to save costs have used tires, what responsibilities?

If it is not clear as soon as possible that the main responsibility, put forward the implementation details, Kumho Tire's recall statement, it may become a dead letter. Many owners keep a promise but cannot get a guarantee. At this moment, I do not know how many defective tires are still on the road.

We should not cast the rights protection problem to scattered consumers. If it is not a professional, it is impossible to have a specific understanding of the tires. Many people have not even heard the name of “Kumho”. “Who advocates and who gives evidence” is a serious disagreement for both parties. It is obviously unfair and not in line with the idea of ​​maximizing consumer protection.

In addition, the complexity of the "Clenbuterol" problem, in addition to unscrupulous businessmen do not speak the bottom line, there are also regulatory and detection problems, Kumho Tire Incident, but also into the same dilemma. Tires are the main auto parts. In most cases, they are purchased together with the whole vehicle. When consumers buy a car, they face the auto manufacturer, which means that they have given the right to choose and give control to the auto manufacturer. How to recall auto parts, car manufacturers and 4S shop what responsibility should bear, there is almost no precedent; tire quality certification standards, many have been seriously lagging behind, but also increased the difficulty of tire supervision. Therefore, the Kumho Tire Incident, as well as the significance of the "reconnaissance path" for the recall of automobile parts and legislation, cannot but be ignored.
