Xiaomi recalls 116,887 SU7 Standard Edition EVs over Level 2 driver-assist safety risk

Xiaomi has announced a sweeping recall of 116,887 SU7 Standard Edition electric cars built between February 6, 2024, and August 30, 2025. The filing was formally submitted to China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) on September 19.

The company cited a potential safety risk linked to the Level 2 highway driving assist. As outlined in the recall notice, under certain conditions with the autonomous driving function engaged, the system may misidentify, warn, or react incorrectly to highly unusual road situations. If the driver does not step in quickly, the risk of a collision can increase. It’s a clear reminder that edge cases on highways leave little room for error, even with driver-assist systems that are meant to be supervised at all times.

Xiaomi plans to resolve the issue with free over-the-air software updates for owners. Customers will be notified via text messages and through the mobile app, a straightforward approach that should speed up the fix without adding hassle for drivers.
