Tesla to ‘recall’ nearly 300,000 China-made cars for its software update
Tesla would ‘recall’ nearly 300,000 China-made and imported Model 3 and Model Y cars for an online software update related to assisted driving, Chinese regulators said on Saturday. It would be entirely remote so owners are not required to return their vehicles.
The remote online software ‘recall’, a first for Tesla cars built in China, covers 249,855 China-made Model 3 and Model Y cars and 35,665 imported Model 3 sedans. This move is linked to an assisted driving function in electric cars, which can currently be activated by drivers accidentally, causing sudden acceleration, The State Administration for Market Regulation mentioned on its website.
