Li Auto announces plans for hardware upgrades in response to crashes
Li Auto has recently upgraded the Li ONE's driving assistance features, adding a truck merge warning function.
Li Auto has also made two hardware upgrades.
By the end of October 2020, the Li ONE had been involved in 97 front suspension crashes, 10 of which involved a front suspension lower arm ball end coming off a ball pin.
Li Auto says it will upgrade Li ONEs manufactured on or before June 1, 2020, with a higher release force front suspension lower arm ball pin at no cost.
Due to customer feedback of damage to the chassis rear shields when the vehicle passes through wading roads, Li Auto will upgrade vehicles delivered in late October 2020 and earlier with new metal chassis rear shields at no cost.
