According to information published by the international portal The Verge, Tesla initiates recall of 1.1 million vehicles in China for vehicle software updates. The Chinese Automotive Market Regulator has identified a problem with the brake system on Model S, X, 3 and Y vehicles, leading to a recall. According to the company, updating the software should be able to fix the problem.

It’s unclear if Tesla vehicles will need to be serviced, and if the company plans any refunds for those who decide to return the vehicle. The problem affects Chinese-made S, X, 3 and Y models and causes problems in the braking system of electric vehicles. This bug prevents drivers from choosing regenerative braking, which increases the risk of a collision. Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, did not comment on the issue, but recalling cars in China is not good for the company’s business as the Chinese market is one of Tesla’s biggest.

Second recall in China

This is the second recall of Tesla vehicles in China during 2023. At the start of the year, the company had to recall 2,649 vehicles after a Chinese regulator found that the hood of some Model S models could open when the driver was driving. Tesla had to adjust the prices of some vehicles after its shares fell nearly 10%. Therefore, it is in the company’s interest to maintain good sales performance in China.

China is one of the largest markets for Tesla, generating $18.2 billion in revenue. According to data released by the China Passenger Car Association, Tesla sold 66,051 electric vehicles in China in January 2023.. The value represents an 18% increase compared to December 2022. As the Chinese market remains strong, everything indicates that the electric car company will try to solve the problem as quickly as possible. It remains to be seen if the software update will be enough to keep the S, X, 3 and Y models affected by the brake issue safe.
