Safety agency to work with China
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration agreed to cooperate with China on auto-safety standards and information after criticism of a recall of Chinese-made tires.
Safety advocates criticized U.S. regulators in an August recall of 255,000 light-truck tires made in China for a U.S. importer, saying they missed an early warning of defects. Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co., which produced the tires, has said it is cooperating with the safety agency.
