On the evening of October 23, 2025, a Li Auto MEGA 2024 model vehicle caught fire in Shanghai, sparking widespread public concern. Li Auto extended its sincere apologies to the vehicle owner and expressed empathy for the anxieties of its user base. Promptly following the incident, Li Auto reached out to the owner and collaborated closely with relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation. Given that the inspection and testing processes involve multiple stakeholders, a definitive technical conclusion has yet to be reached.

Meanwhile, Li Auto's internal investigation has revealed that the coolant used in this particular batch of vehicles exhibits insufficient anti-corrosion capabilities. Under specific conditions, this deficiency could lead to the corrosion and subsequent leakage of the cooling aluminum plate, potentially culminating in a thermal runaway of the power battery in extreme scenarios. In response to these findings, Li Auto has taken proactive measures by submitting a recall plan. This initiative aims to conduct comprehensive safety inspections and necessary replacement repairs on vehicles from the same batch, thereby eliminating potential safety hazards and ensuring the utmost safety for its users.
