Cloned tires discovered in Macc’s ‘Ops grip’ – raids – also tampered labels and production data detected – Paultan.org

Bought tires of brand cheap? Well, if you did, they could be well cloned or not certified, which could mean that you are going on tires that are not entirely what they seem, even though they have the role.

The problem is not new, but its size is perhaps at the moment. This is due to the discovery of piles of stick labels in a warehouse in Shah Alam that was robbed by authorities earlier this week, the New Straits Times Reports.

The raid was part of GripIn which a task force with multiple authorities was led by the Malaysian Anti-corruption Commission (MACC) that made simultaneous raids at 23 locations in the Klang Valley, Penang and Johor. A total of 17,672 tires were seized at various locations, including warehouses and tire storage containers.

The stick labels are supposed to be applied to brand new tires when they leave the production line in a factory, and their discovery has encouraged the committee to meet with officials of transport and domestic commercial ministery, as well as players in the industry to determine the severity of the problem, since the scope of smuggings has gone just that of just that of.

The discussion, which took place earlier today, was to find out how far such ties infiltrated the Malaysian market. “The agenda of the meeting is to discuss the way forward after the discovery of suspected cloned tires and ties that may not be certified by administrative bodies,” a source told the publication.

According to the source it was possible that some of the cheaper tires that were seized during the raids were not at all certified. “Some of the seized tires may have branded the certified E-Mark and the United States Department of Transportation Mark in the rubber during the production process without having actual certification,” the source said.

After the raids, the committee also asked players in the industry to visit the robberies sites so that they could better understand the problems and accelerate solutions. At least eight leading international and local tire manufacturers have inspected different tire storage warehouse warehouses earlier today.

According to a follow-up Nst Report, companies that are present in the Inspectorate include Michelin, Bridgestone, Toyo, Continental, Goodyear, Yokohama, Maxxis and Pirelli. These companies have also used their own technical teams to check various aspects of their products, in particular with regard to their authenticity. Some of the detected problems included tampered production data, tampered tire sticker labels and presumably smuggled tires.
