According to 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, Tesla will recall the domestic pure electric sedan Model 3 and SUV Model Y produced from December 28, 2020 to January 15, 2022, with a total recall of 26,047 units.
The reason for the recall is that there will be a slight movement when the vehicle heat pump electronic expansion valve is positioned, and the long-term work may cause the valve department to open, and the heat pump compressor will stop working, resulting in the failure of the heating function in the car, which seems to be a small problem, but if the extreme cold weather, the failure of the windshield defrost function will lead to the driver's vision deterioration, and there are certain safety hazards.
The solution is to upgrade the software for vehicles within the scope of the recall through the remote upgrade (OTA) technology, the owner does not need to go to the store to complete the upgrade, if the vehicle can not be completed by remote upgrade, you can upgrade the vehicle for free through the Tesla service center to completely eliminate the safety hazard. It is worth mentioning that Sanhua Zhikong, a leading listed company in the field of domestic electronic expansion valve products, has just announced that it will provide electronic expansion valve supply services to Tesla, so Sanhua Zhikong said that I do not carry this pot.
And this is not Tesla's first recent recall in the domestic market, since December 2021, it has now been recalled three times in a row in China, namely December 3, 2021 design steering knuckle problem recall 21599 domestic Model Y, on December 31 Tesla design trunk cover problem recalled 14208 domestic Model 3 models, although Tesla's responsible attitude is worthy of our praise, but three months recall three times is not a bit of a drama?
This is not the first recent recall of Tesla in the domestic market, the data disclosed by the website of the State Administration for Market Regulation shows that this is the third time since December last year that Tesla has recalled domestic electric vehicles. The previous two were: On December 3, 2021, Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. recalled some electric vehicles, a total of 21,599 vehicles, mainly involving steering knuckle issues. On December 31, 2021, Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. recalled some electric vehicles, a total of 144208, mainly related to the trunk cover problem.
Although Tesla is the leading boss of new energy vehicles, volkswagen, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai and other world-renowned car companies have begun to transform into electrification, coupled with BYD's continuous efforts, if Tesla does not solve the quality problem, then the position of pure electric car domination will be precarious!
