From time to time, automobile manufacturers may choose to recall their vehicles due to some problems. In these recalls, the vehicles are returned to their owners without any problems, while the problematic parts are replaced. Tesla, on the other hand, attracted all the attention with its latest recall announcement.
Tesla recalls more than 1 million vehicles
Tesla has decided to recall almost all the cars it sells in China due to a braking and acceleration error that could increase the risk of an accident. According to the statement, a wireless software fix will be applied to more than 1.1 million vehicles manufactured in Shanghai and some models imported into China from January 2019 to April of this year.
It is stated that the fault in the cars is related to the regenerative braking system, which allows the energy to be reused by sending the energy generated when the drivers take their feet off the accelerator pedal to the vehicle’s battery. Authorities state that the vehicles do not allow drivers to adjust the regenerative braking intensity and do not warn drivers when the accelerator pedal is pressed for a long time. It is stated that this situation increases the possibility of incorrect movement of the pedal.
With the software update to be made, drivers will be able to change the setting of the regenerative braking system and use it as they wish. The company’s cars will also give a warning when drivers press the gas for a long time.
Tesla sold about 1.13 million cars from 2014 to March of this year. With this latest operation, the company will have recalled almost all the vehicles it has sold in China so far. The company has received many complaints about the braking so far and has not accepted the allegations. With this latest announcement, the electric car manufacturer has accepted the accusations.
Tesla wants to fix the regenerative brake problem in its vehicles with more than 1 million recall operations. So what do you think about this recall? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
