Germany asks Tesla to recall Model Y and Model 3, affecting more than 59,000 cars worldwide

According to Bloomberg News, due to technical problems with the car emergency system, the German auto regulator has asked Tesla to recall its Model Y and Model 3 models.

The German Motor Transport Authority can only order the recall of cars in Germany but says on its website that more than 59,000 Tesla Model Y and Model 3 vehicles will be affected worldwide.

The German Motor Transport Authority found a malfunction in the emergency system on both models, which was supposed to automatically call the relevant emergency hotline in the event of a serious accident. Affected owners were told to call the manufacturer or drive to an authorized repair shop for a software update.

The notice was issued on June 29 and reported by Radio Berlin-Brandenburg on Saturday. The affected cars were produced this year. According to RBB, that includes Model Y cars built at the Berlin plant. In May this year, Tesla filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation.

From May 23, 2022, some domestic Model 3 and Model Y electric vehicles with production dates from October 19, 2021, to April 26, 2022, a total of 107,293 vehicles, will be recalled because of the central processing unit may overheat and restart. It is unclear whether the latest recall will affect Model Y and Model 3 vehicles sold domestically.
