Tesla, which changed the future of the automotive industry with its fully electric vehicles and autonomous driving systems, decided to recall the Model Ys it produced in its factory in China. While technical problems lie behind the company’s decision, it is not yet clear whether these problems affect only consumers in China or all Model Y owners produced and exported in China. So what happened? What technical problem is Tesla’s factory in China currently grappling with?
In the statements made by Tesla’s production unit in China, it was stated that the problem that led to the recall of Model Ys was caused by the steering knuckle. According to studies, this piece is not durable enough and can break during forcing. In such a case, the authorities say that the suspension rod may fall off the steering knuckle and this may affect the driving safety, and they underline that the vehicles must be checked.
21 thousand 599 Tesla Model Y will be controlled one by one
*A consumer who buys one of the Tesla Model Ys produced in Tesla’s factory in China claims that his vehicle has become this out of nowhere.
According to the statements made by Tesla, Model Ys produced at the factory in China between February 4, 2021 and October 30, 2021 should be checked. This means that 21 thousand 599 vehicles will be examined one by one. How the recall and control process will continue is currently unknown.
To be frank, a vehicle recall is something that happens to many automotive companies. In other words, Tesla’s decision is not the first in the industry, and it will not be the last. The only problem here is that the check has to be done physically. Tesla was able to assist its customers with remote update and tracking systems in its vehicles. However, the fact that the problem experienced this time is due to parts makes it obligatory to call the vehicles to the factory.
