Chinese tech giant Xiaomi Corp. will recall about 117,000 SU7 electric sedans in China to fix potential safety flaws in its driver-assistance system, regulators said Friday, marking the automaker’s biggest recall since launching the model last year, reports Caixin. The recall covers SU7s built before Aug. 30, 2025, according to the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR). It represents roughly one-third of the model’s total sales since its launch in March 2024.
Xiaomi will issue an over-the-air (OTA) software update to fix the risk, avoiding the need for parts replacement. Regulators said the system could fail to properly recognize or respond to “extreme scenarios” when highway navigation assist is activated.
The SU7 standard model supports highway assistance but not more complex urban functions. In March, a crash involving the model left three people dead after the car collided at high speed while driver-assist remained engaged seconds before impact.
