Tesla to Issue Software Updates for 435,000 Cars in China Over Marker Light Issue

Reuters2022-12-01

SHANGHAI, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Tesla will issue software updates for more than 435,000 vehicles in China to fix an issue with side marker lights that could in extreme circumstances lead to a collision, a regulatory body said.

The fix, which counts as a recall, will be issued by an over-the-air update.

It covers 142,277 Model 3 cars and 292,855 Model Ys, according to a statement by the State Administration for Market Regulation.

The electric vehicle giant also recalled more than 80,000 Model S, Model X and Model 3 cars last week in China for software and seat belt issues.

Separately, Tesla's retail sales in China nearly doubled in the Nov. 1 to Nov. 27 period from a year earlier, brokerage data showed, after the company cut prices for the Model 3 and Model Y and offered incentives.

    So your phone is considered recalled when there's update? How many times have your phone been recalled over the span of 1 year then? LOL

    Wasn't this the same thing that happened a few weeks ago? Software recall updates should not be a major problem.
