Tesla Inc. is recalling about 30,000 imported Model S and Model
X vehicles with suspension problems in China, an increasingly
important market for the U.S. electric-car maker amid global
economic weakness.
The company will recall imported vehicles manufactured between
Sept. 17, 2013, and Jan. 15, 2018, according to a statement by the
State Administration for Market Regulation on Friday.
The units have either one or both of two suspension defects that
may affect vehicle control after certain external impacts, the
authority said, noting that Tesla has registered a recall plan with
it.
Tesla didn't immediately respond to a request for comments.
The recall will apply to a large portion of the company's sales
in China in recent years, prior to a surge in sales volume in 2020
when Tesla started production at its Shanghai plant and reduced
unit prices.
