Tesla to issue software updates for 435,000 cars in China over marker light issue
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. REUTERS
