AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/28 Report--
Tesla Automobile (Beijing) Co., Ltd. filed the recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration on November 27, and decided to recall some imported Model X vehicles from March 16 to July 31, 2016 from now on.
The reason for the recall is that the vehicles within the scope of the recall use adhesive to install the front and middle trim panels on the top of the vehicle, and a primer is required to increase the adhesion between the two. As the bottom coating on the surface of the roof panel of some vehicles may be insufficient, the adhesion of the panel may be weakened over time, and in extreme cases, the panel may fall off from the vehicle. If the decoration panel falls off from the vehicle while driving, it will increase the risk of collision or injury of the rear vehicle on the road, especially the motorcycle, and there is a hidden danger of safety.
In short, the roof trim panel of Tesla Model X may fall off while driving, which will increase the risk of injury to other road participants. In view of the above defects, Tesla Automobile (Beijing) Co., Ltd. will inspect the recalled vehicles free of charge and carry out a tension test on the roof trim panel. if it passes the test, it will show that the primer is sufficient and no further operation is needed; if it fails the test, the roof trim panel will be reinstalled to eliminate safety risks. Tesla suggested that before the vehicle recall and repair, the owner should drive the vehicle carefully and contact the service center for maintenance as soon as the recall begins.
This recall can be seen as a further response and response to an accident that occurred in China a few days ago. On November 21, a Tesla Model S was running at high speed from the right lane when a rotating object appeared in mid-air in front of it and was in danger of hitting the car at any time. Fortunately, the object that was blown away did not hit the rear vehicle. However, a large object is scattered on the road, which poses a serious threat to the safety of other vehicles.
Subsequently, the owner of Tesla, who was aware of the vehicle emergency, began to slow down and seemed to stop to check the vehicle problem. It is said that the blown-off object system Tesla Model S glass roof.
From the real car picture of Model S, the roof is an oversized integral glass roof, which has the advantage of increasing the daylighting inside the car and highlighting the novelty of the vehicle, which is also a major vehicle feature of Tesla. If the object blown off in the above video is a glass roof, it will have a greater impact when it hits the ground and breaks to the ground.
In response to the incident, Tesla officially certified Weibo "Tesla customer support" replied: "after a preliminary investigation, the vehicle had its roof glass replaced in a third-party authorized sheet spray center. Tesla is conducting further investigation into the cause of the incident."
Tesla's reply caused discussion and controversy among netizens, which are roughly as follows: 1. What does "third-party authorized sheet spray center" mean? Isn't it authorized by Tesla? 2. What does it mean to change the roof glass? Do you want to change the skylight or just the glass? Is there a problem after the change, or is it already a problem?
Although the recall only involves Tesla Model X due to the shedding defects in the roof decoration strips, the above situation also appears on other different models, so other models inevitably have the same defects, and it is not clear when the recall will be carried out.
According to Tesla's latest recall measures, the bottom coating on the surface of the Model X roof trim panel may be insufficient, and the adhesion of the roof trim panel may be weakened with the passage of time, which may cause the roof trim panel to fall off and increase the risk of collision or injury of vehicles on the road. In other words, the shedding of the roof trim panel is a process defect that Tesla has in the manufacturing process, which is not directly related to whether the parts are replaced by the third-party sheet spray. Tesla throws the defect to the "third-party sheet spray center." it gives people the feeling that the problem is not directly related to Tesla.
Here, I still hope that manufacturers can seriously treat the problems of car owners in the process of using the car, so as to reduce the safety risks and product failures of users when using the car. I hope Tesla can give a reply that can stand deliberation, and do not play word games.
