Tesla, the world’s leading electric car maker, is in trouble again. According to the Wall Street Journal, the electric vehicle maker has recalled a total of 80,561 vehicles in China due to software and seat belt issues. The company, which has been experiencing many problems recently, broke a record with the fourth recall in a week.

Tesla recalls over 80,000 cars in China

Tesla recalls over 80,000 cars in China due to software and seat belt flaws. Battery management glitches affecting 67,698 Model S and Model X vehicles could lead to unexpected stops, according to the country’s State Administration for Market Regulation, while 12,863 Model 3 sedans have seat belt issues.

Fortunately, most of the problems in vehicles are easy to solve. Tesla fixes models with battery problems with software updates. However, the 12,863 Model 3 requires minor manual repairs. It is not known whether the defects resulted in any collision or injury or whether they are directly related to past faults. The main thing users complain about is the frequency of recalls.

This is the third recall in one week for the company. Lately, Tesla recalled nearly 30,000 Model X SUVs over troublesome airbag behavior, and 321,000 Model 3 and Model Y EVs due to software-related rear light anomalies. Unfortunately, this doesn’t include the recalls needed to fix bugs that caused the car’s windows to jam and caused some issues with the autopilot.

Tesla manages to fix these problems quickly and systematically every time. In fact, it sometimes removes some problems without users being aware of it, with updates it releases remotely. Still, the frequency of recalls negatively impacts the company’s reputation. The competition in the electric vehicle market is more intense than ever, and if Tesla continues to experience these problems, it is likely to lose its customers to its competitors.
