These two cases of overheating of the charging adapter involve the nema14-30 charging adapter, which sometimes charges Tesla's electric vehicles with the help of the clothes drying equipment socket used by American families. Therefore, at present, the domestic customers in the United States are mainly affected, while the customers in the international market are not affected. Tesla decided to replace this charging adapter in the next few weeks, but during this time, consumers should stop using this adapter.

  In the U.S. auto industry, recall is more common. According to the data of the national highway traffic safety administration, the recall phenomenon in the U.S. automobile industry was very prominent last year, and the number reached a new record, involving more than 50 million vehicles. In addition, Auto News reported that in 2015, the number of car recalls in the United States reached a new high for the second consecutive year, with a total recall of more than 50 million vehicles.

  The recall of electric vehicle charging adapter is the fifth recall of Tesla since the launch of model s in June 2012, and the first recall of some accessories.
