According to the State Administration for Market Regulation, since April 7, Tesla has recalled some imported and domestically produced Model 3s produced between January 11, 2019 and January 25, 2022, with a total of 127785 vehicles.
The main reason for the recall is that there may be minor manufacturing differences in the vehicle's rear motor inverter power semiconductor components, which can cause the inverters of some vehicles to fail.
This failure can cause the vehicle to fail to start if it occurs in a parked state, or lose power when the vehicle is in a driving state, and in extreme cases may increase the risk of a collision between the vehicles.
The recall was not initiated after Tesla took the initiative to find a safety hazard, but was carried out under the circumstance that the State Administration for Market Supervision and Administration launched a defect investigation.
It is worth mentioning that before the recall, many car owners have reported that the vehicle stalled during the drive and almost had a terrible traffic accident.
On April 6, the owner of a Tesla Model 3 broke the news that he was driving on the highway and encountered a thrilling scene where the vehicle suddenly lost power.
According to the owner of the car, the car is mentioned on New Year's Day this year, usually use the car, the car will appear for no reason, the car will run after locking the car, the car will make a rumbling sound, reopen the door and close it will not have, usually think these are small problems, do not care.
This time, I drove myself at a speed of 100 yards in the tunnel normally, and suddenly without warning, the screen showed "The vehicle cannot continue to drive, please stop immediately." Since there are buses following behind, the owner of the car, in order to prevent sudden stops, so he stepped on the electric door, but the vehicle did not respond.
According to the owner's own account, he reacted for 0.5 seconds, immediately hit a double flash, and changed two lanes in a row, and finally stopped in the emergency lane, because he completely lost power, and the body only went in half.
There is also the owner of the car driving a newly proposed Model 3, ready to return to Nanjing from Shanghai, before going on the highway, suddenly slammed, the vehicle stalled and stopped, the whole person leaned forward and almost hit the steering wheel, which scared him enough. At this time, the large screen displays an alarm, and the vehicle cannot be started.
Previously, some netizens "ChamZ" said that the imported version of the Tesla Model 3 long-endurance rear-drive version purchased in September 2019 had a motor failure during driving, and the vehicle stalled suddenly on the road, causing serious personal safety hazards
After "ChamZ" disclosed the matter on Weibo, other car owners contacted him, saying that there had been the same "vehicle failure", and even some car owners had this "failure" on the highway.
There are too many rights protection incidents for Tesla owners, but perhaps more infuriating than the problem itself is Tesla's handling of the problem.
In response to the owner's reflection of "whether the loss of power failure is a common disease", the relevant person in charge of Tesla's public relations department said: "Tesla officials will not make any response to related events, if the negotiation fails, it is recommended that the owner take the legal route to solve." ”
A few more words
Car recalls are not a new thing, most manufacturers and users can correctly look at it, but if the product is really facing safety issues and ignored, the consequences may be very serious.
Tesla has always been considered a strong competitor, and its sales have been rising in China, but it is the rise in sales that has also been magnified.
Tesla has always been on the cusp of the storm, from workmanship, pricing, brake failure, chip mixing, spontaneous combustion and other issues, on the edge of the law continues to swim.
