Tesla to Recall Nearly 50,000 Model S and X Vehicles in China Over Safety Concerns
When it reported strong third-quarter earnings on Wednesday, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) delighted investors. The week, however, is ending on a less auspicious note for the automaker with its announcement that it's recalling almost 50,000 vehicles that it exported to China. At issue are potential defects in the suspensions of 29,193 Model S and Model X vehicles manufactured in the U.S. between Sept. 17, 2013, and Aug. 16, 2017, as well as 19,249 Model S vehicles produced between Sept. 17, 2013, and Oct. 15, 2018.
According to Gasgoo, a Chinese website that reports on that nation's auto industry, China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) is requesting that the carmaker replace the rear linkages of the left and right front suspension and the upper linkages of the left and right rear suspension for all affected vehicles at no cost to the vehicles' owners.
