Tesla is conducting its biggest recall in China in its history, albeit one that was caused by a software setting and can be fixed via OTA.
Effective May 29, 2023, Tesla is recalling a total of 1,104,622 imported Model S, Model X, Model 3 and China-made Model 3, Model Y vehicles with production dates between January 12, 2019 and April 24, 2023.
The vehicles included in the recall do not allow the driver to select an energy recovery braking strategy, according to a statement from China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR).
Also, the driver may not have been provided with sufficient warning of prolonged deep depression of the accelerator pedal.
The combination of the above factors may increase the probability of misusing the accelerator pedal for a long period of time, which may increase the risk of a collision and present a safety hazard.
Tesla plans to push newly developed features for vehicles covered by the recall through OTA updates to reduce the risk of crashes caused by excessive speed due to prolonged deep pressing of the accelerator pedal.
The new features include (1) an option to allow drivers to select energy recovery braking intensity on vehicles that do not have energy recovery braking intensity selection, (2) adjustment of the factory default state of the vehicle's energy recovery braking strategy, and (3) an alert when the driver depresses the accelerator pedal deeply for an extended period of time.
