Tesla recalls 2,649 more imported Model S in China due to risk of frunk lid opening while driving

Tesla has expanded a late 2021 recall to cover more imported Model S electric vehicles due to the risk of their front trunks (frunks) opening unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion.
Tesla is recalling a total of 2,649 imported Model S vehicles with production dates between October 14, 2015, and August 23, 2020, effective immediately, according to an announcement on China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) website today.
The recall is an expansion of a recall issued on December 31, 2021, the announcement said.
Vehicles subject to this recall may have a slightly backward alignment of the front trunk latch to the buckle, which does not affect the locking of the primary latch, but may affect the locking of the secondary latch.
If the secondary latch is not locked when the primary latch is accidentally released, the frunk lid may suddenly open while the vehicle is in motion.
If this happens, it will affect the driver's view, increasing the risk of a crash and posing a safety hazard, the announcement said.
Tesla will inspect the secondary locking latch on the frunk lid for the recalled vehicles for free. If the frunk lid is found not to be properly locked by the secondary locking latch, the frunk latch will be repositioned and reinstalled to ensure it is properly positioned.
Owners should drive their vehicles with caution prior to the repair and contact the service center for service as soon as possible after the recall begins, the announcement said.
In the recall announced on December 31, 2021, Tesla recalled 19,697 imported Model S vehicles with production dates between January 21, 2015, and November 18, 2020, because of the risks described above.
In addition, Tesla recalled 35,836 imported Model 3s and 144,208 China-made Model 3s at that time because of the risk of excessive wear on the trunk wiring harness, which could cause the back-up camera to not work properly.

NIO (NYSE: NIO) has opened its first flagship showroom in the Netherlands after the company teased the move earlier this week.
The first NIO House in the Netherlands opened on March 23, and it is located at Meent 80-84 in Rotterdam, the country's second-largest city, according to an article published yesterday in the European edition of the NIO App.
The NO House consists of seven main areas, including a vehicle display area, as well as areas for NIO users to relax and interact with the community.
In the vehicle display area, local visitors can experience NIO's three models, the ET7, EL7 and ET5. The EL7 is known as the ES7 in China.
The opening of the first NIO House in the Netherlands is an important moment for the company, which aims to be more than just electric driving; it welcomes everyone, said Ruben Keuter, general manager of NIO Netherlands.
The first image in the NIO App article shows the company's co-founder and president, Qin Lihong, at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the NIO House.
The NIO Houses are NIO's flagship showrooms, which function to display and sell vehicles while providing a space for NIO owners to live a quality lifestyle. The company's showroom also includes the smaller NIO Spaces.
On October 1, 2021, NIO opened its first NIO House in Norway, its first such facility in Europe.
NIO released data on March 1 showing that as of the end of February, it had 101 NIO Houses worldwide, including 99 in China and two in Europe.
As of February 28, NIO had 296 NIO Spaces worldwide, including 290 in China and six overseas.
