Tesla recalls 734 imported Model 3s due to risk of loose screws

According to the official website of the State Administration for Market Regulation, Tesla (Beijing) Co., Ltd. will recall two batches of 734 imported Model 3 vehicles in China.

The first batch of recalled models were produced from January 12 to November 20, 2019, totaling 311 vehicles. The reason for the recall is that the screws at the seat belts may loosen, which may cause the seat belts to fail to function in extreme cases; the second batch of recalled models were produced from February 2 to November 20, 2019, totaling 423 vehicles. The reason for the recall is that the caliper bolts may loosen, which may cause tire pressure loss in extreme cases.

In addition, the domestically produced Model 3 is not included in this recall list.

Overseas, Tesla has also conducted a large-scale vehicle recall due to the risk of brake loosening. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Administration, Tesla is recalling 5,974 vehicles in the United States, including some Model 3s produced from 2019 to 2021 and some Model Ys produced from 2020 to 2021. Affected by this incident, Tesla's stock price fell by 3.51%.

This is not the first time Tesla has conducted a global recall this year. In February this year, Tesla recalled about 134,951 Model S and Model X vehicles in the United States due to a defect in the touch screen that could cause problems with the autopilot system and turn signals. It also recalled 36,126 of the above two models in China.
