Acceleration and Braking Risks Recall – May 2023
China demanded Tesla recall more than 1.1 million vehicles in May over safety issues involving certain models’ acceleration and braking systems. Tesla recalled Model S, Model X, Model 3 cars, and Chinese-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles produced between January 12, 2019, and April 24, 2023.
China’s State Administration Market Regulation said in a statement at the time that the cars might not adequately warn the drivers when they press hard on the accelerator for an extended period of time, The New York Times reported. Tesla informed SAMR it would fix the vehicles by sending a wireless software update to the recalled vehicles.
