Abstract:

Recall of defective automotive products is internationally adopted for after-market administration by
the government. This paper summarizes the current mechanism of automotive defective products management,
counts up and quantitatively analyses the statistics of total recalls, the automotive defect investigations and the
social economic benefits in China in 2004-2014. 19.8 million vehicles were recalled with 28.4 billion YUAN (RMB)
costs saved for Chinese customers during this period. The results show that the current recall management
mechanism is effective to China in vehicle risk-management respect. However, the current mechanism in China
is still far from perfect in the recall rate, the recall ratio and the economic benefit, etc., comparing between
China and USA. Therefore, the defective automotive products management mechanism needs to be continually
improved with great effort for China.
