Tesla will conduct a second large recall of automobiles in China and the United States owing to possibly faulty baggage racks in two models, raising concerns about their dependability once more.
On Friday, Chinese officials announced the recall of roughly 200,000 cars, just hours after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed that Tesla had recalled 475,000 electric vehicles from the market.
The Tesla Model 3 electric car, the best-selling model, is the most affected. According to Tesla, "frequent opening and shutting of the trunk lid" might "cause severe wear on the coaxial wire" attached to the rearview camera, resulting in the camera not being available to the driver. The other vehicle in the mix is the Tesla Model S electric car. One of the trunk latches at the front of the electric car is misaligned and might "pop open unexpectedly and restrict the driver's visibility."
Tesla believes that this production flaw will affect 1% of Tesla Model 3s and 14% of Tesla Model Ss recalled in the United States. However, the brand emphasized that this probable flaw had not resulted in an accident or damage as far as it was aware.
