Tesla is recalling around 30,000 vehicles in China because of suspension problems.

The electric vehicle company is recalling imported Model S and X vehicles made between September 17, 2013, and January 15, 2018, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement on Friday.

This accounts for most vehicles Tesla sold in China over that period, Bloomberg reported.

The company issued the recall because of two different suspension defects, the authority reported, per Bloomberg, and some vehicles potentially have both defects.

The recall doesn’t include any vehicles made in China, where Tesla began making Model 3 vehicles in early 2020. In May, Tesla’s global vice president estimated its Shanghai factory would be able to produce more than 150,000 cars a year.

Tesla did not immediately reply to Business Insider’s request for comment.

The news comes as the Chinese electric vehicle industry rebounds after an almost year-long slump.
