recall 26000 domestic Model3 and modely

According to the requirements of the regulations on the administration of recall of defective automotive products and the measures for the implementation of the regulations on the administration of recall of defective automotive products, Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. has filed a recall plan with the State Administration of market supervision and administration. From now on, Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. will recall some domestic Model3 (12003 vehicles) and modely (14044 vehicles) electric vehicles produced from December 28, 2020 to January 15, 2022, A total of 26047 vehicles.

the heat pump electronic expansion valve of some vehicles within the scope of this recall will move slightly during positioning. Because the software (version 2021.44 to 2021.44.30.6) has no correction function, the valve may be partially opened for a long time, the heat pump compressor will stop working, and the heating function in the vehicle will fail . Under the above conditions, especially when the temperature outside the vehicle is lower than minus 10 ℃, the operation of the windshield defrosting system can not reach the defrosting effect specified in relevant national regulations, and the decline of defrosting function has an adverse impact on the driver's field of vision, which increases the possibility of collision risk when the vehicle is driving in cold weather, and there are potential safety hazards.

It is reported that Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. will upgrade the software for the vehicles within the recall scope through auto remote upgrade (OTA) technology, and users can complete the recall without going to the store; For vehicles that cannot be recalled through OTA technology, Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. will contact relevant users through Tesla service center to upgrade software for vehicles free of charge, so as to eliminate potential safety hazards.

Tesla recalled some modely, models and Model3 in China on December 3 and December 31, 2021. The reasons for the recall involved possible deformation or fracture of the steering knuckle, latch locking and other problems.

Trapped in "ghost brake door "

Tesla has also been deeply involved in the investigation of "ghost brake" safety defects in the United States recently.

It is reported that in the past nine months, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the US regulator, has received 354 complaints. The owner's complaint shows that the "ghost braking" problem occurs when using the autopilot assist system. It is mainly manifested in that when the user turns on the autopilot assist system of Tesla vehicle, the vehicle will suddenly brake without warning without braking, which has a huge potential safety hazard.

After receiving the complaint, NHTSA launched a new round of safety defect investigation on Tesla. On February 17, NHTSA officially launched an investigation into the "ghost braking" involved in Tesla, which will cover about 416000 Model3 and modely models from 2021 to 2022.

It is worth noting that, according to NHTSA's announcement, Tesla has released 10 voluntary recalls in the United States in the past four months. On February 10, Tesla recalled 578607 models, modelx, modely produced from 2020 to 2022 and Model3 produced from 2017 to 2022, because its "Boombox function" enables the vehicle to play sound through external speakers when driving, which may lead to the concealment of the sound of pedestrian warning system, resulting in potential safety problems . On February 1, Tesla recalled nearly 54000 vehicles because the "fully automatic driving" software on the model could not make the vehicle stop completely in front of the stop sign.
