Recently, the Legal Affairs Office of the State Council promulgated the "Regulations on the Recall of Defective Automobile Products (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)" in its full text and solicited opinions from all sectors of the community. The new regulations will not only increase mandatory recalls and increase penalties, but also explicitly include tires in the recall scope. A car owner said, "If the car encounters quality problems, it can apply new regulations to safeguard its rights, so it has more confidence and protection."
The new regulations redefine "defects" and "recalls." "Deficitities" refers to the prevalence of threats to personal and property safety in a batch, model, or category of automotive products due to design, manufacturing, marking, and other reasons. Unreasonable dangers; “recall†refers to the activities of producers of automotive products that adopt measures such as corrections or supplemental markings, repairs, replacements, returns, etc. to prevent and eliminate defects.
Corresponding to the current "Regulations on Recall of Defective Automobile Products", the reporter found that the contents of the recall of the new regulations have been expanded. Defective vehicle recalls include the replacement of old cars and the return of new ones. Among them, the new regulations specify that tires are specifically included in the scope of recalls. Article 26 stipulates: “If the tires of the truck-mounted equipment at the time of delivery of automobile products are defective, they are recalled by the manufacturer of the automobile products; tires that are not equipped with vehicle equipment exist. Defective, the tire manufacturer is responsible for the recall."
The reporter also found that the new regulations also increased penalties for violations of relevant regulations, fines of up to RMB 500,000 up to RMB 1 million, or fines for value of defective auto products of 2% up to 10%.
