Tesla Recalls 1.6 Million Cars in China

globalautonews Views  

Tesla is initiating a recall of over 1.61 million vehicles in the Chinese market due to risks associated with the driver assistance system. This follows a recall notice issued in the United States in December last year, citing inadequate measures to prevent misuse of the driver assistance system.

The recall affects vehicles exported to China and those produced locally from August 14, 2023, to December 23, 2023. Approximately 1.61 million vehicles have problems with the driver assistance system, and about 7,500 vehicles have safety issues with the door lock. Both issues can be resolved with an Over-the-Air (OTA) wireless software update.

China, where Tesla has its main factory is a crucial market for the company. However, local competitor BYD is rapidly increasing its sales intensifying the competition. Tesla’s electric vehicle sales reached about 480,000 in the third quarter of 2023 while BYD sold 520,000 surpassing Tesla for the first time.
