Overview

• SAMR-affiliated China Quality Report stated the SU7 action is not a routine software update but a passive recall initiated after a defect investigation.
• Xiaomi said on September 19 it would recall about 117,000 SU7 cars to improve assisted-driving reliability via an over-the-air upgrade with no hardware replacements.
• The recall carries identifiers S2025M0149I and S2025M0150I, indicating a safety defect category (S) and an investigation-influenced recall type (I).
• Guidance issued this year by MIIT and SAMR requires that OTA fixes used to eliminate defects be handled under recall rules, with production and sales halted for defective models and change approvals required if key technical parameters are altered.
• Recent SAMR disclosures show other EV recalls, including FAW-Toyota S2025M0124V and XPeng S2025M0142V, were voluntary, highlighting a contrast with Xiaomi's investigation-driven case.
