Tesla recalls some imported Model S, imported and domestic Model 3

Beijing News Express According to the website of the State Administration of Market Regulation, Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. recalled some imported Model S, imported and domestic Model 3 electric vehicles.

Recently, Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulations in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations on the Administration of the Recall of Defective Automobile Products and the Implementation Measures for the Administration of the Recall of Defective Automobile Products, and decided to recall the following vehicles from now on.

1. Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. recalled a total of 19,697 model S electric vehicles imported from January 21, 2015 to November 18, 2020, with a production date.

Vehicles within the scope of this recall may have a slightly backward alignment of the front load compartment latch and the lock latch, which does not affect the locking of the primary lock latch, but may affect the locking of the secondary lock latch. When the primary lock latch is accidentally released, if the secondary lock latch is not locked, the front trunk cover may suddenly open during the vehicle driving, affecting the driver's line of sight, increasing the risk of collision accidents, and there is a safety hazard.

Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. will inspect the secondary locking latch device of the front trunk cover for the vehicles within the scope of the recall free of charge, and if the front trunk cover is found to be correctly locked by the second-level locking latch device, the front trunk locking device will be repositioned and installed to ensure that it is in the correct position to eliminate safety hazards.

2. Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. recalled some imported Model 3 electric vehicles with production dates from October 4, 2018 to November 20, 2019, totaling 35,836 units.

3. Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. recalled some domestically produced Model 3 electric vehicles with production dates from October 14, 2019 to December 27, 2020, with a total of 144208 units.

After repeated opening and closing of vehicles within the second and third ranges of the recall, excessive wear of the trunk wiring harness may be caused. If this wear causes the core separation of the coaxial cable, it may cause the reversing image to not work properly, thus affecting the driver's field of vision when reversing, and in extreme cases, it will increase the risk of collision when reversing, and there is a safety hazard.

Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. will inspect the trunk wiring harness free of charge for vehicles within the scope of the recall. If the degree of wear is within the allowable range of the design of the coaxial cable, a protective cover will be installed for the trunk harness to ensure that the harness has a sufficient bend radius when the trunk is closed to prevent further wear; if the degree of wear is beyond the allowable range of the coaxial cable design, the vehicle will be replaced with a new harness and a protective cover will be installed to eliminate the safety hazard.

Emergency measures: Users should drive the vehicle cautiously before the vehicle recall repair, and contact the Tesla service center for maintenance as soon as possible after the recall begins.

Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. will notify the relevant owners by registered mail and other means to arrange recall and repair.
