> A new nationwide class action lawsuit alleges Tesla sold its Powerwall 2 battery systems with knowledge of a defect that can cause them to overheat, emit smoke or catch fire.

## Tesla class action lawsuit overview:

> Tesla’s 2023 recall of Powerwall 2 battery systems inadequate, class action claims

> In response to the alleged defect, Tesla issued a recall of the affected Powerwall 2 units in September 2023, **with the recall covering 10,500 units sold between 2020 and 2022** , including the one Brown purchased, according to the Tesla class action.

> … According to the complaint, Tesla continued to market the Powerwall 2 as a dependable home-energy solution even after identifying the defect, assuring customers it was suitable for residential use despite internal data allegedly showing a systemic overheating risk.
> 
> Brown further argues that Tesla’s recall response has left many owners without a functioning system for extended periods. …
