Xpeng to Recall Nearly 48,000 Vehicles—Even Chinese EV Makers Face Troubles
Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Xpeng has issued a recall for 47,490 P7+ sedans over a potential steering defect.
Chinese EV maker Xpeng is recalling 47,490 P7+ sedans due to a potential steering malfunction, according to China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR).
The issue stems from a wiring harness defect in the electric power steering sensor, which can cause signal fluctuations in the steering rack sensor. This may trigger the steering malfunction warning light.
Xpeng will replace the entire steering assembly with an improved version free of charge for all affected vehicles. Owners will be notified via push alerts in the Xpeng Motors mobile app, phone calls, and other communication channels.
Drivers can already access additional information by logging into the app. The problem first drew attention from state media in July, and about three weeks ago, reports surfaced alleging that the company had been quietly replacing faulty parts to avoid public scrutiny.
The recall campaign, identified as S2025M0142V, will begin on September 15, 2025, and affects vehicles manufactured between August 20, 2024, and April 27, 2025.
