Tesla to Recall Nearly 50,000 Model S and X Vehicles in China Over Safety Concerns

When it reported strong third-quarter earnings on Wednesday, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) delighted investors. The week, however, is ending on a less auspicious note for the automaker with its announcement that it's recalling almost 50,000 vehicles that it exported to China. According to Gasgoo, a Chinese website that reports on that nation's auto industry, China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) is requesting that the carmaker replace the rear linkages of the left and right front suspension and the upper linkages of the left and right rear suspension for all affected vehicles at no cost to the vehicles' owners.
