Why did auto recalls habitually ignore China?

The number of multinational car companies recalling cars abroad is far greater than that of China. There are fewer recall cases for domestic self-owned brands. The deep reasons behind this phenomenon are worthy of our deep thinking.

Recently, car recalls have become the focus of the owners and the media. Since China promulgated and implemented the "Management Regulations on Recall of Defective Automotive Products" on March 12, 2004, hundreds of thousands of automobiles have been recalled by automakers every year to repair or replace parts and components in China. The brands involved in recalls include almost all multinational brands. And a small number of independent brands.

RECALL refers to vehicles that have been put on the market. It is found that due to defects in design or manufacturing, it does not comply with relevant regulations and standards, and may cause safety and environmental problems. Manufacturers must promptly report any problems to the relevant national authorities. , the cause of the problem, improvement measures, etc., put forward a recall application. After approval, the seller or repairer is entrusted with an effective way to notify the owner of the in-use vehicles to transform, in order to eliminate potential accidents.

It is understood that China's automobile recall work is mainly in charge of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Car owners can consult the official website of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) website, the Import and Export Commodity Inspection Section, the China Automobile Recall Network, and the Defective Product Management Center website.

Mr. Yan, an Xi'an auto media source, believes that a large number of global vehicle recalls have occurred in recent years. On the one hand, car companies are responsible for the implementation of design and manufacturing deficiencies. On the other hand, multinational car companies recall more quantities abroad than China, and their own brands Few recall cases will require the country to further rigorously refine the laws and regulations on car recalls.

"As a high-value, high-tech product, the automobile has more than 20,000 parts and components, and it is possible that any one link or small part has problems or hidden troubles. Therefore, when the same batch of the same quality problem occurs, Recalling repairs from the manufacturers to the government is a globally advanced method.” Mr. Yan believes that because the cars use the same production line, high-volume “modular” procurement and manufacturing, the same faults and hidden dangers of certain models are detected and detected. And confirmation is one of the key conditions for recall.

Since the implementation of the automobile recall system in 2004, almost all joint venture brands and luxury brands have been recalled in the Chinese market. Among them are most mid-to-high-end car brands such as Shanghai GM, Changan Ford, FAW Toyota, Guangzhou Automobile Honda, and FAW Mazda, as well as almost all luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volvo and Cadillac. Our consumers, industrial and commercial administrative departments and other departments have increased awareness of their rights protection and continue to fight for it. Multinational car companies have begun to pay attention to the voice of the Chinese market. After all, we are already the largest consumer market for automobiles.

Since February of this year, there have been more than 30 recalls in the global auto market and 6 recalls involving the domestic auto market. However, according to relevant statistics, in 2009, the sales volume of new cars in the United States was 10.43 million, and 17.84 million vehicles were recalled; while the sales volume of new cars in China was 13.64 million, only 1.35 million were recalled, which was less than one-tenth of the former. In 2010, the United States sold 11.5 million vehicles and recalled 20 million vehicles; China maintained the world's top with record sales of 18.06 million vehicles, and only 1.17 million vehicles were recalled, barely reaching one-twentieth of the United States.

The internationally renowned multinational car company's attitude on this issue is often “the global recall of a certain product but does not involve the mainland China region”. The reason is also quite consistent: “The car launched in the Chinese market did not use the same flawed Accessories, therefore not affected by this recall.” As for the independent brands, in addition to Chery, Changfeng Cheetah and other individual car companies, there have been no other large-scale recalls of car companies. Consumers may want to ask: Is there absolutely no problem with the quality of cars manufactured and sold in China? Are the cars exported to us equipped with the best parts?

[I'm talking about members]

No one ignores us. We ignore ourselves.

It is precisely because our country's quality inspection standards are too low, consumers' awareness of rights protection is weak, and related penalties are imperfect, which leads to our habitual neglect of cars being recalled. Think about it. If we have strict laws to protect our own people, are those companies brave enough to ignore us? ——The recall of products sold by Outlet is not a good thing. However, on the other hand, we can see that automakers have a strict and responsible attitude. The domestic market is large and the sales volume is large. The number of recalls should be greater, but it is the opposite. This shows that the problem lies with us, not us. Low quality requirements, of course, like good quality products, mainly because the country’s policy guidelines in this area are not perfect, and the consumer rights protection system is not yet mature. Wang Lan mentioned here that, as far as I am concerned, it is always hard to resist the anger of anger, but when I am angry, I think of the reason of the Chinese market and I feel sad. I don’t want to say anything to admire foreign goods. I don’t want to say that my country’s late maintenance is poor. And so on. -- Li Fei I think this mainly involves ideological political discrimination and unequal treatment of post-development countries. It is better to be self-reliance and self-reliance, and wait until there is a world-class peer-to-peer car brand created by “China”. - The standard of Li Yanqing or China is too low, and there is a gap in the legal level, so foreign companies can take advantage of this. Criticize foreigners badly, or wait to start from oneself. - Liu Xiaoxu can see that the response of the international auto companies has a clear response. The interests of Chinese consumers are not respected and deserve to be considered. On the one hand, China's market economy has not yet reached the same level as developed countries in the West. Market equity and supervision mechanisms are not perfect, and consumer awareness of rights protection is not enough. On the one hand, China itself is a market with a relatively large proportion of extensive economies. Many commodities do not pursue excellence, but instead they are gradually taking advantage of the alienation of material interests in the market. Taking food safety as an example, it is no longer a matter of subsistence. Good shallow issues have caused the overall quality and service level of Chinese commodities to fall below the world average. Laowai does not focus on the interests of Chinese consumers. The reference is estimated to be the reality in China, but How foreigners do this is also driven by interests. It is not a moral act and deserves criticism. ——Liu Pengfei I firmly disagree with the notion that “the cars exported to us are equipped with the best parts” does not believe that “the quality of cars manufactured and sold in China is completely free of problems” and China is not strong enough to this extent. The customary neglect of China is actually a lack of understanding of China, and it is still not clear enough about the current state of China and the status quo of China's social car purchase and car purchase standards. However, the environment cannot be changed. Others cannot change. China can only change itself. It wants to integrate China into the tide of the international community. It can only enhance its capabilities in all aspects and let other countries take notice. - Hu Qian is mainly not strict enough to check in China. Chinese companies are pursuing protection policies, especially large enterprises and foreign companies. Therefore, they are not afraid of being here. - Long in the days of my opinion, need not recall it is not so difficult to judge it. Since there are so many different regions in the world, the same problem arises. China's 4S shop opened to the owner to check is not over, you must believe that the brand's franchise stores, you can find third-party testing whether there is the same problem. If so, collective rights protection will also receive government support. —— Pen pens Because many of the auto brands are foreign, they are only manufactured in China and are completely independent of foreign production. As a result, these car manufacturers have said that the cars with problems are not sold to the Chinese market. In fact, although they are assembled in China, many designs and parts drawings are foreign. If there are problems, they should be recalled! These pretexts are just those automakers have said in order to minimize losses. -- Over the years, Zhang Huan has been frequently recalled for major brand models. From the perspective of the news person, it is already something that is accustomed to.

On the one hand, the mechanical structure of the car is more complex than the average vehicle, and it is difficult to detect the problem in a short time. Only after a certain period of time has passed, a survey is conducted on the information returned by a large number of vehicle owners, and the insufficiency and severity of the vehicle are determined to determine whether to recall. On the other hand, the automotive industry can drive a certain percentage of local economic growth. Ultimately, how to balance the relationship between product quality and economic growth requires continued exploration. - Li Meiyi: The supervision department has not done enough inspections; Secondly, the upper level does not pay enough attention to it; Third, foreign companies drill loopholes in the law. - Feng Xiaojun My conclusion is: Chinese people are too big! No matter what kind of car, it can be opened equally. Just like the millet rifle won the aircraft cannon. Many retired cars will still be bought by people after they have been repainted. They are still very happy. Therefore, it is inevitable to ignore China. Because you are still using it very well. Pan Xiaomiao does not have a manufacturer who is willing to voluntarily recall the product. The recall is only for long-term benefits and without penalty. In developed countries, the government is holding penalties to threaten its long-term interests. In China, a large number of incentive policies have brought car companies to the fore. It's like old sayings that mother-in-law is more likely to be filial sons. The government should treat the people as food and clothing parents, and use the company as a child to teach them, but in China it seems to be exactly the opposite. Therefore, car companies are naturally willing to save the cost of this recall - anyway, so many killers, even if the problem is not a good fool? -- I don't know much about Blue Feather. I can't drive or study it. This may be decided by Chinese characteristics. Chinese consumers are fooling themselves. As long as there is no danger to their lives, others can tolerate it. This is actually a kind of mentality that "has just eaten enough". Just after you had enough to eat, you told me to eat less. There may be problems with this food. You are not going to make trouble with me?
