NIO recalls 686 Firefly EVs over steering sensor defect risk
NIO Auto Technology (Anhui) Co., Ltd. filed a recall plan with China's State Administration for Market Regulation defect product recall technical center to recall 686 Firefly (萤火虫) 2026-model 42kWh battery electric vehicles produced between March 20, 2026 and April 2, 2026 (recall No. S2026M0114V). Due to a manufacturing process fluctuation, the steering column torque sensor harness may interfere with the sensor rotor, which in extreme cases can cause abnormal sensor signals, illuminate the electronic steering system fault light, and lead to loss of steering assist. Regulators have received 7 related complaints, with no reports of accidents or injuries. The company will inspect the harness and rotor for interference and replace the harness free of charge where needed, and will correct the harness installation process in production; the recall implementation period runs until December 18, 2026.
