Li Auto recalled over 11,000 MEGA electric vehicles in China due to a defect in the battery cooling system, which could cause thermal runaway and safety hazards. The issue, monitored by an AI-based cloud safety system, required battery and controller replacements to prevent potential harm. Recall completion exceeds 97.5%.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The recall is due to a defect in the cooling system of the power battery and motor controller, which are components typically managed by AI systems in modern electric vehicles. The defect could cause thermal runaway, a serious safety hazard that can lead to injury or harm. The recall addresses this defect, indicating that the AI system's malfunction or design issue has directly led to a significant safety risk. Although the recall is underway and no new harm is reported, the event qualifies as an AI Incident because the AI system's malfunction has caused a safety hazard requiring corrective action to prevent injury or harm.[AI generated]
