Tesla recalled some imported Model S, imported and domestic Model 3 electric vehicles in China

On December 31, Tesla recalled some Model S and Model 3 electric vehicles in Beijing and Shanghai.

According to Tesla's filing with China's State Administration for Market Regulation, Tesla will recall a total of 19,697 model S electric vehicles imported in Beijing with production dates from January 21, 2015 to November 18, 2020, and a total of 35,836 model 3 electric vehicles with production dates from October 4, 2018 to November 20, 2019.

Tesla said that the vehicles in this recall may have the situation that the front trunk cover suddenly opens during the vehicle's driving, which affects the driver's line of sight, increases the risk of collision accidents, and has a safety hazard. Tesla will reposition and install the front trunk lock latch to ensure it is in the correct position to eliminate safety hazards.

At the same time, Tesla will recall some domesticAlly produced Model 3 electric vehicles in Shanghai with production dates from October 14, 2019 to December 27, 2020, for a total of 144208 units.

Tesla said that these recalled vehicles may also affect the driver's field of vision when reversing, and in extreme cases, it will increase the risk of collision when reversing, and there are safety hazards.

Tesla will inspect the trunk wiring harness for the recalled vehicles free of charge, and if the wear is beyond the allowed range of coaxial cable design, it will replace the vehicle with a new harness and install a protective cover to eliminate the safety hazard.

Not only in China, Tesla has recalled nearly 500,000 vehicles in the United States, which is close to last year's production.

U.S. road safety regulators said Thursday that Tesla is recalling more than 475,000 Model 3 and Model S electric vehicles to address rearview camera and front and rear trunk issues that are believed to increase the risk of crashes.

The recall is huge. In 2020, Tesla reached the milestone of delivering 500,000 electric vehicles, which means that the recall of 475,000 vehicles is close to the production of the whole of last year. As of the fourth quarter of 2021, Tesla has sold nearly 2 million vehicles.

Affected by the news of the large-scale recall of vehicles, Tesla's US stocks fell slightly before the opening of the market.
