Li Auto provides free battery replacements below warranty threshold, questioned as covert recall
Media reports and owner accounts show that Li Auto has been providing free battery pack replacements to Li L6 (2024) owners whose battery health does not meet the official warranty replacement threshold — under Li Auto's warranty terms a free replacement requires battery health below 75% within the 8-year/160,000-km warranty or a battery quality problem. Examples include a Suzhou owner with a reading of 86% who was notified of a free replacement without being told the reason or shown a test report, and a Changzhou owner whose work order shows a 60,880-yuan battery pack replacement fully covered by warranty in July 2026. The affected vehicles mostly pair the 2024 L6 with Sunwoda-supplied lithium iron phosphate batteries. Li Auto customer service said the only published standard is battery health degrading below 75% within the warranty period, with other cases handled as battery quality issues at store discretion, and the company had not answered the report's questions by press time. Lawyers quoted in the report said that if the same batch of batteries has a common defect, such warranty-based replacements could constitute substituting commercial warranty for the statutory recall required by China's Defective Vehicle Product Recall Regulations.
