Tesla to fix braking issue in 1.1 million vehicles following China's recall order.
TL;DR
China's market regulator has announced that Tesla will issue over-the-air software updates to more than 1 million vehicles to reduce the risk of accidents caused by regenerative braking and accelerator pedals. The update will restore the option of switching off regenerative braking and warn drivers when they step hard on the accelerator pedal. The State Administration for Market Regulation said the action is a product recall under Chinese regulations, but it is unclear if drivers might need to return vehicles to Tesla for refunds.
