On November 1, the person in charge of the Defective Product Management Center of the AQSIQ stated that according to Article 16 of the Regulations on the Management of Defective Automobile Product Recall, the producers implemented the recall and filed a recall plan with the regulatory authorities, which belonged to the producers to perform the recall. The act of legal obligation does not require the approval of the regulatory authorities. Article 21 of the Regulations clearly stipulates that the supervisory department's duties are to supervise the implementation of producer recalls and to organize experts to evaluate the effects of producers' elimination of defects.
On August 14, 2014, after the AQSIQ initiated the defect investigation, it repeatedly interviewed FAW-Volkswagen, and carried out a large number of user return visits, site surveys, defect technical analysis and expert evaluation. At the first time, the Defective Product Management Center verified and confirmed more than 3,000 complaint users one by one. It went to 11 cities across the country to conduct on-site investigations and vehicle surveys, and received support and cooperation from users. The Defective Product Management Center also organizes experts to conduct engineering analysis on fractured parts, and commissions authoritative national inspection agencies to conduct failure analysis, flaw detection analysis and material strength analysis, etc., and related work is underway.
In response to consumers' response to corporate recall measures, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine attaches great importance to it, and requires the Defective Product Management Center to increase its investment in technical force, organize national testing institutions and authoritative experts to evaluate FAW-Volkswagen's recall measures for eliminating defects, and Conduct a demonstration of the vehicle by means of a real vehicle test. At present, the Defective Product Management Center has requested FAW-Volkswagen to further submit technical demonstration materials for recall measures. The person in charge of the center appealed to the majority of car owners. If the vehicle appears to be deformed or cracked after the longitudinal arm of the suspension, it should contact the FAW-Volkswagen dealer as soon as possible for maintenance, and the relevant situation will be passed to the website of the AQSIQ Defective Product Management Center.

We can see that the AQSIQ has attached great importance to the FAW-Volkswagen recall incident and will evaluate the FAW-Volkswagen recall measures. We will continue to follow up on the latest developments in this recall.
