Published: 7:35pm, 31 Dec 2024 China has issued a recall for 77,650 domestically produced Tesla electric vehicles as well as more than 88,000 vehicles from four other carmakers due to safety hazards, including GAC Trumpchi, Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler. Advertisement The State Administration for Market Regulation announced on Tuesday that the Tesla recall involves Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, as a software issue may delay the display of faults detected by the tyre pressure monitoring system. Additionally, the market regulator recalled 63 imported Model S and Model X vehicles from the US carmaker due to a potential airbag defect. The recall came after 1.68 million Tesla vehicles were taken off the streets in August, when Beijing asked the company to resolve an issue with the lids of front trunks on certain models. Another carmaker facing a significant recall is China’s GAC Trumpchi, based in Guangzhou, which will need to repair 74,422 vehicles for a software issue that could prevent the display of critical information in extreme situations.
