Who makes Kumho so fearless?

After being exposed for five months by CCTV's 3·15 party, and KTM typhoon's recall turmoil is far from settled, Kumho has already launched a counterattack. Recently, in major media, high-profile propaganda "Do not hesitate to reinvent the integrity of the" and "strong return", launched a vigorous "five-year warranty for tires, 50 million dreams" plan.

In the face of overwhelming doubts, Kumho is still so arrogant; in the face of turmoil on the user complaints, Kumho is not the slightest humility and self-blame heart, it can be said is quite "loose." Who is it that makes Kumho tires so fearless?

First, as early as 2009, Kumho Tire was criticized by the AQSIQ for quality problems. During the past two years, consumers' complaints about Kumho Tire also increased. Then, in the past two years, what are the relevant departments doing? Turn a blind eye or do not ask?

When the Kumho Tianjin plant accident occurred, the Tianjin Quality Inspection Bureau went to the factory to inspect. What about the quality inspection bureau of other factories in Kumho Tire? The same is the Kumho Tire, Tianjin factory's practice Nanjing factory will not copy according to copy? The governments of Sanlu and Shuanghui have all dealt with a group of public officials. Why did the Kumho event country not deal with relevant personnel? Compared with food safety, car safety is also life-threatening. Therefore, the Kumho Tire Incident is not just a matter of ethical fallout for one company, but there are also serious problems with certain departments.

Second, in the current laws of our country, there are many legal basis for severely cracking down the production and sales of products that do not meet the safety standards. Why is the judiciary still not involved?

The Sanlu incident was precisely because of the intervention of the judicial authorities, and the relevant personnel were severely punished by the law and paid a painful price. Only then did the safety issue of the dairy industry in China be valued by the entire society and no one dared to touch it. Dairy products are safe for this high voltage line. Only the judicial intervention can make “quality and safety” become a vehicle for the automobile and its related supporting enterprises. The Chinese consumers really get a quality guaranteed car.

Thirdly, to this day, there are still no quality problems in Kumho tires, and consumers and the media all feel that Kumho Tire has serious quality problems, but Kumho Tires did not recognize them, and the national quality inspection as an authoritative department. The General Administration chose silence at this time.

Surprisingly, the former lawyer of Kumho Tire jumped out and exposed some of the details of the Kumho Tire Incident: AQSIQ has no relevant tire quality standards, and whether the tires are replaced is controlled by Kumho itself. Therefore, the number of Kumho Tire's recalls was self-reported, and it was therefore only the holidays and other dates that appeared in the recall plan. In other words, the reason why Kumho Tire is so fearless is entirely due to the lack of relevant standards and the inaction of certain departments.

To take a step back, even if there are no strict standards, the relevant national authorities are not able to take Kumho tires.

Chapter 28 of the “3C” Certification Chapter 28 of the certification and certification marks that the certified product has defects and leads to quality and safety accidents; the follow-up inspection found that the certified products are inconsistent with the samples provided by the certification client. The certification body shall revoke the certification and make it public.

Article 46 of the fourth chapter of the supervision and management also has records: AQSIQ unified plan, the State Certification and Accreditation Administration shall take regular or irregular ways to supervise and inspect the certified products. Producers, sellers, importers and users of business activities of certified products must not refuse supervision and inspection. The National Certification and Accreditation Administration establishes a system for issuing certified products and their producers and announces the results of supervision and inspection to the public.

In other words, AQSIQ has a variety of “weapons” that determine whether or not Kumho Tire has quality problems in the end. But why Kumho also has the confidence of "without fear", the details of which are intriguing.

The Kumho incident is by no means an accidental event, let alone a single incident. If the relevant departments continue to fail to act and give the people a satisfactory account, it is bound to be a Kumho still not lost, and ten million “Kumho Lake” Stand up again. The final result is that the Chinese are afraid to drive or dare to drive. That is the true sorrow of the Chinese auto industry.
