BEIJING (Reuters) – Tesla will fix software in 77,650 Chinese-made Model 3 and Model Y cars due to safety risks, China’s market regulator said on Tuesday.
The action, due to software issues that may not display the monitored tire pressure immediately after starting the vehicle, is described as a product recall under Chinese regulations, the regulator said. It was not immediately clear whether drivers would have to return their vehicles to Tesla for reimbursement or would be eligible to do so.
The US electric vehicle maker is also recalling 63 imported Model S and Model X cars in China due to problems with the driver’s front airbag.
