Kumho Tire Recalling Unrefined 3C Certification Standard Has Been Revoked

After the Kumho Tire's mass production of tires using recycled rubber was exposed, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China released on March 18th, 2011 that it would “proactively cooperate with the relevant regulatory authorities to further investigate and punish others in the industry for warning and warning”. Further news is that the use of Kumho Tire joint venture enterprises concerned told reporters a few days ago, the AQSIQ has suspended 3C certification standards Kumho Tire, Kumho Tire If a tire reproduction, through to re-apply for certification.

Behind the escalating "Kumho Tire Case", on the one hand, cost pressures test the moral bottom line of tire companies. On the other hand, as people pay more attention to the tire recall system, more people are concerned about the use of "Kimho Tire Case." Whether the vehicle manufacturer involved in the tire will recall the vehicle.

In response, Chen Dongsheng, secretary-general of the National Automotive Service High-tech Industrialization Committee, said: “Kumho Tires and other companies are a hole in the drilling policy. The national policy encourages the recycling of energy, allowing the right amount of back-grind to be added during tire production. The company has given up the bottom line and used lower prices to reduce production costs. In the past two years, the tire industry has faced not only high raw material prices, but also more disorderly competition."

Vehicle manufacturers are still waiting

Kumho Tire's official website shows that Kumho Tire has three major production bases in China, located in Tianjin, Nanjing, and Changchun. The annual output of these three bases has reached 30 million. The supporting manufacturers include Beijing Hyundai, Shanghai General Motors, FAW-Volkswagen, Dongfeng Peugeot, Great Wall Motor and many other domestic auto manufacturers. There are about 35 models available. For example, Shanghai GM’s Buick Excelle, Chevrolet Cruze, and Jing Cheng all use Kumho Tires, and almost all of Buick Excelle's different models are equipped with Kumho Tires. At the same time, Kumho Tires were used in 7 models of Beijing Hyundai Motors. Great Wall Motors’ Wizards, Haval, Chery Automobile and A3 also used Kumho Tyres.

After the “Kimho Tire Case” was exposed, Great Wall Motor's Propaganda Department Director Shang Yugui told reporters: “The company’s Kumho tires account for less than 30% of the total and have stopped using Kumho tires.” The relevant person in charge of FAW-Volkswagen said: “If Kumho Tire were found to be having quality problems by related departments, we immediately stopped cooperation. Now the company’s purchasing department and quality assurance department have sent engineers to the Kumho Tire's Nanjing and Changchun factories to conduct inspections and sampled the six tires of this batch. We have carried out inspections. We have temporarily adjusted the proportion of tires and increased the proportion of other brands."

Immediately afterwards, Shanghai General Motors also stated that it has arranged special maintenance stations for the brand. If users have questions or problems with the quality of Kumho tires, they can approach the special service station. The company will assist the customer in the first round of tire quality appraisal. The person in charge of Beijing Hyundai said that the company is waiting for investigation reports from the AQSIQ, and at the same time considering the deployment of models on the production line, giving priority to the production of some models using other tire brands, will not stop production. Chery Automobile News spokesman Jin Yibo said that Kumho Tire's product support ratio is about 10%, and the company is actively communicating with Kumho Tires to wait for their conclusions and solutions.

However, it is worth noting that there has not yet been a car company statement or mention, whether it will be because of the use of the "Kumho Tire Case" involves tires and vehicle recalls. In particular, when the reporter interviewed some car dealers in Shanghai, they discovered that car makers have not contacted dealers about Kumho Tire Incident. Most of the dealers said: “If the customer consults, we would advise them to inquire about the car manufacturers.” When the reporter asked Jin When Lake Tire was involved in the sales of models, some dealers stated that since the time of the “Kumho Tire Case” was still short, it was not seen that the sales of vehicles were affected. However, consumers who have consulted in recent days have already paid attention to this incident. , and repeatedly asked questions such as security.

In fact, because of the problem of tire recalls, there are international references. The chief engineer of a domestic automobile brand research institute told the reporter that 10 years ago, Ford discovered that a cross-country vehicle using Bridgestone's Firestone tires had a safety hazard, and spent US$3 billion on vehicles that were fitted with Firestone tires. A recall was made, which caused Ford's vitality.

"But if it is not recalled, Ford may go bankrupt, and foreign control is very strict. There are relevant laws in the United States. Car companies must take responsibility for the responsibility when it comes to vehicle safety or environmental protection. The tires are installed on the vehicle and if they are found Safety risks, vehicle companies should take the initiative to recall, consumers buy a car is the trust of the vehicle manufacturer. However, China has not yet established a relevant recall system.” The above engineer said.

Recall system has "blank"

Compared to Ford’s practice 10 years ago, behind the silence of the OEMs, it is actually a “blank” of the Chinese tire recall system.

Usually, problems occur with the use of tires in the country and are generally interpreted by the dealers or manufacturers as "misuse." An owner of the Shanghai GM Chevrolet Cruze said in an interview with the newspaper that the Cruze he had purchased had been used for less than three months and he had noticed a bulge and crack on the side of the tire. However, he had to negotiate with the dealer and had no choice but to pay for it himself. fetal.

“The problem of tire identification is more complicated. If the vehicle owner has obvious external damage during the repair process, the responsibility determination is relatively simple.” The general manager of a car dealership store in Shanghai told reporters, “If you do not see obvious injuries, you need to Experts can test to determine whether they can ultimately guarantee the quality, but usually the manufacturer is responsible for finding the testing agency."

To this end, the chief chief engineer of a car brand research institute told the reporter: “The number of third-party testing organizations certified by the CNCA is still relatively small, and the testing laboratories for related products are set up by enterprises themselves, and there is a lack of real independent third parties. Testing agencies also make it difficult to certify and identify. The state should establish more third-party testing agencies that do not aim for profit and maintain certain independence."

In general, low-end models of tires are prone to problems such as bulging, and the number is on the rise, not just a certain tire brand problem. According to the reporter's query on the quality problems of auto products and vehicle price charts in 2010, the tire problem was the largest among the vehicles with a range of 100,000 to 150,000 yuan, and 36.21% of tire complaints were concentrated in this price range. Models.

The industry believes that in terms of supervision, there is no clear “three guarantees” requirement for tires in China. The warranty for tires is also separate from the vehicle, and there are no detailed implementation rules. The "Regulations on the Supervision of the Recall of Automobile Products" that will be issued in the first half of this year may be able to change the current embarrassing situation. The regulations are "upgraded" into laws and regulations by the department regulations and are legally binding. This "Kumho Tire Case" may It caused the attention of the AQSIQ to formulate some more detailed implementation rules, such as recalling some important parts such as tires.

In fact, in October last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had formulated the "Tire Industry Policy." This policy clearly regulates the behavior of various economic entities in terms of tire production, circulation, and consumption. Tire manufacturers must meet the technical specifications and implement the “three guarantees” service products before they can enter the market. Distribution is strictly prohibited and there is no “three guarantees”. Service tires. The policy also specifically pointed out the establishment of a system for the recall of tyres (including retreaded tyres).

However, it is a pity that the recall of tires has always been "little thunder and rain is small," and no mandatory regulations have been introduced yet. According to industry sources, it is the absence of a tire recall system that provides production companies with the possibility of “drilling holes”.

Pumping Unit

The pumping unit is the mechanism that converts the rotary motion of the prime mover into the reciprocating vertical movement required at the polished rod. Most types of pumping units utilize a walking beam, inherited from the days of the cable-tool drilling rigs.
The purpose, simply stated, of the basic system is to transmit energy from the surface to the downhole pump. The resulting configuration has been referred to as a Sucker Rod Pump System.
