Recently, Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd., in accordance with the "Regulations on the Administration of Defective Automotive Product Recalls" and the "Implementation Measures for the Regulations on the Administration of Defective Automotive Product Recalls," filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation. Starting from October 8, 2024, Tesla will recall certain Model X electric vehicles.
Recall Scope:
The recall covers a total of 870 imported Model X electric vehicles produced between March 16, 2016, and July 31, 2016. This recall is a reissue of the "Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. Recall of Certain Imported Model X Electric Vehicles" initially announced on November 27, 2020.
Reason for Recall:
In some vehicles within the scope of this recall, adhesive glue was used to attach the front and middle trim panels to the roof of the vehicle, and a primer was required to enhance adhesion between the two. Due to insufficient primer on the trim panel surfaces, the adhesion may weaken over time. In extreme cases, the trim panels may detach from the vehicle, posing a safety hazard.
Solution:
Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. will conduct a free inspection of the vehicles within the recall scope and perform a pull test on the roof trim panels. If the panels do not pass the test, they will be replaced, and primer will be applied for reinstallation to eliminate the safety hazard.
Emergency Measures: Before the recall repairs are completed, vehicle owners are advised to drive cautiously and contact a service center for inspection as soon as the recall begins.
Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. will notify the affected owners through effective channels, and Tesla service centers will proactively contact the relevant owners to arrange the recall. Users can call Tesla's customer service hotline at 400-910-0707 via mobile phone or landline for inquiries. Additionally, more information can be obtained and defect clues can be reported by visiting the websites www.samrdprc.org.cn or www.recall.org.cn, or by following the WeChat official account (SAMRDPRC).
