Li Auto proactively recalls 11,411 MEGA vehicles due to coolant corrosion risks potentially leading to battery thermal runaway, linked to
On October 31, 2025, China's State Administration for Market Regulation announced that Beijing Li Auto Co., Ltd. has proactively filed a recall plan for vehicles from the same batch as the recent Shanghai fire incident. The recall, numbered S2025M0174V, begins November 7 and affects 11,411 units of the 2024 Li MEGA model produced from February 18 to December 27, 2024. The issue stems from insufficient anti-corrosion properties in the coolant, which under certain conditions can cause corrosion and leakage in the cooling aluminum plates for the drive battery and front motor controller, potentially triggering fault lights, power limitation, or in extreme cases, thermal runaway of the drive battery. Li Auto will provide free replacement of coolant, drive battery, and front motor controller for affected vehicles. Emergency measures include cloud-based early warnings via the 400 hotline or in-car E-call for user assistance and rescue. Faults will prompt parking via lights, text, and alarms; absence of warnings indicates normal status. Li Auto stated that following the October 23 Shanghai MEGA fire—where doors opened normally and occupants evacuated safely without injuries—internal investigations identified the coolant defect in the batch, prompting the proactive recall despite ongoing multi-agency probes without final conclusions. Founder Li Xiang emphasized: “Accident investigations may take one or two months, but we cannot wait for a one-in-ten-thousand risk—life demands 100% safety.” Users can check notifications via the Li Auto app, SMS, or calls to 400-080-8080, or visit the SAMR recall centers at www.samrdprc.org.cn or www.recall.org.cn for details and reporting.
