Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Xpeng Inc. is recalling 47,490 of its P7+ sedans, affecting at least 70% of customers who purchased one, due to steering problems that pose safety risks.
A statement from China's State Administration for Market Regulation, published on September 12, said that some vehicles produced between August 20 last year and April 27 this year may experience a steering fault indicator light up, followed by steering failure due to a defect in the sensor wiring harness.
This recall is a major blow to the manufacturer's popular new model. As of July, the company had delivered 67,000 P7+ sedans since their release late last year. Xpeng says all defective parts in the recalled cars will be replaced free of charge.
