Tesla Inc. will recall more than 36,000 vehicles in China due to
potential display-screen failures, a move that comes days after the
electric-car giant announced a large-scale recall in the U.S. over
similar issues.
Tesla plans to recall some imported Model S vehicles
manufactured between 2013 and 2018, as well as certain imported
Model X vehicles made between 2016 and 2018, according to a
statement on Friday by China's State Administration for Market
Regulation.
These cars have displays that could malfunction after certain
components reach their capacity limit, the regulator said, citing
information from Tesla. This may indirectly lead to rear-view
camera malfunction, defrost- and defogging-control failures and
loss of turn-signal functionality, the regulator added.
Tesla didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Tesla, which has faced pressure from U.S. regulators over the
issues, on Tuesday told the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration that it would recall around 135,000 cars, marking
one of its largest-ever safety actions.
