According to the website of the General Administration of Market Supervision today, Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. filed the recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration in accordance with the requirements of the regulations on the recall of defective Automobile products and the measures for the implementation of the regulations on the recall of defective Automobile products.

It is understood that the reason for this recall is that during the awakening process of some vehicles from the parking state, the software of the vehicle profile lights may make errors in initializing the internal parameters, resulting in the profiler lights on one or both sides of the rear of the vehicle cannot be lit. In the dark environment, the occasional lack of profiler lights will reduce the visibility of the vehicle, and in extreme cases, it will increase the risk of vehicle collision accidents, and there are potential safety risks.

Tesla said that through the car remote upgrade (OTA) technology, the recalled vehicles will be upgraded to 2022.40 or higher software free of charge, and users can complete the software upgrade without having to go to the store. For vehicles that cannot be recalled through remote upgrade (OTA) technology, Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. will contact relevant users through Tesla service center to upgrade the software for vehicles free of charge to eliminate safety risks. In addition, Tesla also suggested that users should drive the vehicle carefully before the implementation of the recall and upgrade the vehicle software as soon as possible after receiving the recall notice.
