Tesla is recalling more than 1.6 million electric vehicles in
China in another blow to the company's ambitions for the Chinese
market.
About 1.61 million imported Model S, Model X, and Model 3, and
domestic Model 3 and Model Y electric vehicles with production
dates between Aug. 26, 2014 and Dec. 20, 2023 will be recalled
starting from Friday, China's State Administration for Market
Regulation said in a statement, citing concerns over their
autosteering function.
The EV maker will also recall 7,538 imported Model S and Model X
made between Oct. 26, 2022 and Nov. 16, 2023 due to a problem with
the door latch controls, the regulator said.
Tesla can remotely upgrade the vehicles to fix the door latch
and autosteering issues, the regulator added.
The news comes after Tesla recalled more than 2 million vehicles
over concerns about its autopilot system in the U.S. last
month.
Tesla's shares last closed at $237.93.
