Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. have filed a recall plan with SAMR under China’s defective auto recall rules covering certain domestically produced and imported battery electric vehicles. When assisted steering and the combined driver-assistance system are engaged, the current attention-monitoring system may not alert drivers whose gaze is off-road, which could increase collision risk. Tesla (Shanghai) will deploy a free OTA software upgrade to affected vehicles to reduce that risk by adding in-cabin camera monitoring to existing steering-torque checks and more promptly prompt drivers to resume control and observe traffic. Owners can receive the update remotely; vehicles that cannot be updated via OTA will be contacted through Tesla service centers for recall repair to address the safety issue.
