Tesla Plans to Recall 1.62 Million Cars in China

The National Market Regulatory Authority in China announced today, Friday, that "Tesla has begun recalling 1.62 million vehicles, some of which are Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y in China." The authority stated in a statement that "Tesla can update the vehicles remotely to fix the issues that have arisen. This step is classified as a recall under Chinese regulations." It noted, "Some of these vehicles are imported Model S and Model X, as well as locally produced Model 3 and Model Y manufactured from 2014 to 2023." The American automaker will conduct a remote update for approximately 1.61 million cars. This recall comes in Tesla's second-largest market, following two similar actions taken by the company in the United States in December.
