Tesla faces a new problem, which has caused a huge recall of cars. Let’s find out what happened and what the problem is.
For the giant Tesla It’s not a very fortunate period, and between declining sales and doubts about the future, the company Elon Musk It has a fair amount of trouble to deal with. Revenues were very low in the first months of 2024, with as many as 14,000 layoffs being made to try to cut costs. According to what emerged, some managers would also be targeted, confirming a delicate situation.
Tesla, in fact, no longer has that total monopoly in terms of electric cars, since China has grown enormously with sales. Consider that BYD surpassed the US company in deliveries at the end of 2023, something that had never happened in the past. In addition to injury, insult is also added, given that the Texan brand was forced to issue a major recall of its cars due to a significant problem. Let’s see what happened.
Tesla, 125,000 models recalled
The topic of car recalls is becoming increasingly discussed, since the number of cars that are subjected to sudden and unexpected interventions is constantly increasing. Tesla had to recall over 125,000 electric carsas established by NHTSA, i.e. the agency that deals with road safety at a global level. The Autopilot system is not involved, which had already caused some recalls in the past.
This time, the recall is not dictated by electronic systems or battery problems, but from the seat belt warning system. In fact, there is a serious risk that this malfunction could cause an increased risk of greater injuries in the event of an accident. To be precise, there are 125,227 of the company’s BEVs Elon Musk which have been recalled, and it is not a specific model, but the entire range.
In fact, many Model Ss produced between 2012 and 2024, Model Xs between 2015 and 2024, Model 3s between 2017 and 2023 and Model Ys built between 2020 and 2023 are involved. These Teslas do not comply with safety requirements federal, for which an immediate recall decree was issued in the USA. There will be no further expense for customers, given that repairs, in these cases, are completely free.
