What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Certain Tesla Powerwall 2 AC Battery Power System?
Certain Tesla Powerwall 2 AC Battery Power System (Tesla, Inc., of Reno, Nevada) was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The lithium-ion battery cells in certain Powerwall 2 systems can cause the unit to stop functioning during normal use, which can result in overheating and, in some cases, smoke or flame and can cause death or serious injury due to fire and burn hazards. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should ensure their Powerwall 2 system is online and check the Tesla App for a notification about whether their unit is included in the recall. Tesla has remotely discharged (or removed energy from the battery of) affected Powerwall 2 systems that are online, to prevent overheating, until the replacement is installed. Sold at: Tesla.com/powerwall and through certified Tesla installers nationwide from November 2020 through December 2022 for about $8,000.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 10,500 units of Certain Tesla Powerwall 2 AC Battery Power System are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
