U.S. officials have ordered Foreign Tire Sales Inc., to recall its 450,000 radial tires for pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans as it doesn’t meet with the security measures.
Hangzhou Zhongce’s made tires are bursting and caused to fatal accidents. Recently company manufactured tire busted outside the Philadelphia that arose suspicion over Chinese made tires.
Foreign Tire Sales of Union is seeking U.S. government’s assistance to bear loses, as recall can bankrupt the company. But The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration isn’t interested to confer any relief to company.
Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber has rule out all charges as they alleged that defective tires are sold under company’s name. Company further said that they are exporting tires to US for long 10 years successfully.
This not first time when Chinese tires were under scrutiny, as in February 2006, Cooper Tire & Rubber recalled 288,000 passenger-car tires from the Chinese maker because they contained “unauthorized material” in the sidewalls. Cooper said that could have caused air leaks and, eventually, treads separation.
Thread separation is a growing problem with the Chinese manufactured tires. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wants to eradicate all defected tires from the road, but it’s obscure that how many were running on the highways. Hangzhou Zhongce deals with the at least six other importers or distributors in the United States.
Chinese manufactured items are constantly raising American and other importer countries apprehension as recently Chinese made pet food and toothpaste were alleged to contain dangerous substance in it that might caused to the grave consequences. Including America, Singapore, Peru and few other nations had banned its product to sell in country.
