According to the announcement of China's state market supervision administration on the 31st, Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. recently filed a recall plan with the state market supervision administration in accordance with the requirements of the regulations on the administration of defective automobile product recall and the measures for the implementation of the regulations on the administration of defective automobile product recall, and decided to recall the following three types of vehicles from now on, A total of 199741 vehicles.
First, Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. recalled some imported model s electric vehicles whose production date was from January 21, 2015 to November 18, 2020, with a total of 19697 vehicles.
The announcement said that vehicles within the scope of this recall may have a slight backward alignment between the front trunk latch and the latch. Although this situation does not affect the locking of the primary latch, it may affect the locking of the secondary latch. When the primary latch is accidentally released, if the secondary latch is not locked, the front trunk cover may suddenly open during driving, affecting the driver's line of sight, increasing the risk of collision accidents and potential safety hazards.
Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. will check the secondary latch device of the front trunk cover for vehicles within the recall scope free of charge. If it is found that the front trunk cover is not properly locked by the secondary latch device, it will reposition and install the front trunk latch device to ensure its correct position to eliminate potential safety hazards.

Third, Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. recalled some domestic model 3 electric vehicles with a production date from October 14, 2019 to December 27, 2020, totaling 144208.
The announcement said that the trunk cover of vehicles within the scope of recall II and III may cause excessive wear of trunk harness after long-term repeated opening and closing. If the wear causes the separation of the inner core of the coaxial cable, the reversing image may not work normally, thus affecting the driver's field of vision when reversing. In extreme cases, it will increase the collision risk when reversing, and there are potential safety hazards.
According to the announcement, Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. will check the trunk harness for free for vehicles within the recall scope. If the wear degree is within the allowable range of coaxial cable design, a protective cover will be installed for the trunk harness to ensure that the harness has sufficient bending radius when the trunk is closed to prevent further wear; If the wear degree exceeds the allowable range of coaxial cable design, the vehicle will be replaced with a new harness and installed with a protective cover to eliminate potential safety hazards.
The announcement reminded that users should drive the vehicle carefully before vehicle recall and maintenance, and contact Tesla Service Center for maintenance as soon as possible after the recall is implemented.
