On February 2, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration disclosed that Tesla Inc. is recalling some of its 2012-2023 Model S, 2016-2024 Model X, 2017-2023 Model Y, and 2024 Cybertruck vehicles due to the incorrect font size of the braking, parking, and anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning lights displayed on the dashboard. A total of 2193869 vehicles.
In China, Tesla has also launched a recall before. A total of 7,538 imported Model S and Model X electric vehicles with production dates between October 26, 2022 and November 16, 2023 are being recalled. Due to the logic control of the door unlocking of these vehicles, in the event of a collision, the non-collision side door latch may detach from the latch, leaving the door in a non-locked state, which is a safety hazard.
A total of 1610105 imported Model S, Model X, Model 3 and domestically produced Model 3 and Model Y electric vehicles between August 26, 2014 and December 20, 2023 are being recalled. For vehicles within the scope of the recall, the driver may misuse the Level 2 combined driver assistance function when the automatic steering function is turned on, increasing the risk of collision and posing a safety hazard.
In this regard, Tesla said that the recall is not negative news, but a manifestation of corporate responsibility.
