Tesla's Huge Recall: Musk Led EV Company Recalls Over 1M Cars In Key Market China

A braking and acceleration defect prompted Tesla, Inc TSLA to recall nearly every car it sold in China to prevent crashes and safety risks.
The EV maker proposes to deploy an over-the-air software fix to more than 1.1 million vehicles produced in Shanghai from January 2019 to April 2023, plus some models imported into China, Bloomberg cites the State Administration for Market Regulation.
The software fix will help drivers to set the intensity of their regenerative braking and adjust the factory default state of the system.
