BREAKING: Tesla recalls 199,741 vehicles in China

[Stranagor]

Tesla is recalling a large number of electric vehicles (EVs) in China effective immediately because of safety hazards in the front and rear trunks.

Tesla has filed a recall plan with China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), whose official website shows that Tesla will recall some of its imported Model S, imported Model 3 and locally produced Model 3 EVs, totaling 199741 units.


These vehicles include 19,697 imported Model S electric vehicles with production dates between January 21, 2015 and November 18, 2020.

They may have a condition where the alignment of the front trunk latch with the buckle is slightly backward. This condition does not affect the locking of the primary latch, but may affect the locking of the secondary latch, according to an announcement published on the SAMR website.

If the secondary latch is not locked when the primary latch is accidentally released, the front trunk lid may suddenly open while the vehicle is in motion, affecting the driver's line of sight and increasing the risk of a collision and posing a safety hazard.

Tesla will inspect the secondary latch on the trunk lid for the recalled vehicles free of charge, and if the trunk lid is not properly locked by the secondary latch, the trunk latch will be repositioned and reinstalled to ensure it is properly positioned.

Tesla is also recalling 35,836 imported Model 3 electric vehicles with production dates between October 4, 2018, and November 20, 2019, and 144,208 locally produced Model 3 electric vehicles with production dates between October 14, 2019, and December 27, 2020.

The trunk lid of these vehicles may cause excessive wear on the trunk wiring harness after repeated opening and closing over a long period of time, the announcement said.

If that wear causes the inner core of the coaxial cable to separate, it could result in the back-up camera not working properly, which could affect the driver's view when backing up and, in extreme cases, increase the risk of a collision when backing up.


Tesla will inspect the trunk wiring harness for these Model 3 vehicles free of charge, the announcement said.

If the wear is within the design allowance of the coaxial cable, a protective cover will be installed for the trunk harness to ensure that the harness has a sufficient bend radius to prevent further wear when the trunk is closed.

If the degree of wear exceeds the coaxial cable design allowable, the vehicle will be replaced with a new harness and installed with a protective cover to eliminate safety hazards.

It's a only precautionary voluntary recall..not a government imposed one.

Looks like rope is slowly being tightened around Tesla by China. It is only a matter of time when they will be forced to leave China.

They are voluntarily recalling it in the US too.

Tesla self driving isn't self driving.

No current consumer cars are self-driving. The only consumer car being tested by the public in different real world scenarios across a country is Tesla. All others are basically vaporware.

But the reason tesla is valued 20x then ford even though it makes 20x less vechiles is because people anticipate tesla will haveself driving car that people will want to pay 10-20$ per month subscription..
You cant make money with manufacturing ..its all software

Till then, they will drive at their cost. In the meantime, China brands will completely dominate domestic market and have a strong entry into most foreign markets.

They just need to follow domestic regulations. So long as they comply, as they do now, they will be fine. Of course, unlike the US government, China government cannot unfairly protect them from peer competition.

Their vision camera based so-called 'self driving' is dinosaur tech in front of our now cheaply available Lidar based true self-driving powered by our 5G network.

I drove a tesla it's a nice car but way over priced, not worth it until there is a significant price drop.

Ford carrying old infrastructure, debts and liabilities ...Tesla is free from all financial problems.

It isn't overpriced because no one can match it in certain fields.

Safety - without a doubt Tesla vehicles are the safest cars in the world, both in terms of preventing a car crash and in terms of surviving one. It's the one field that cannot be valued, it might be the most important part of the car. Many Tesla crash survivors would have certainly died in other vehicles, I think they're glad they paid a premium on that car.

Speed and range relative to the price - It provides the fastest vehicles with the longest range at its price point.

Charging stations - Tesla has the most charging stations by a long shot, very important for large countries and people that drive a lot.

Certain Nio models are priced higher than the most expensive Tesla, and with higher profit margin. In China, Tesla had to reduce price to be able to compete. In other markets, they may be expensive. Afterall, it is domestically made in China and over 75% domestically sourced.

The safety criteria is given regrdless of the technology and its still over priced and its not perfect. I have friends who drive tesla and provide 1st hand feedback. I will pass on Tesla until the price is where it should be.
