"Tesla Initiates Major 1.6M Vehicle Recall in China for Steering and Safety Fixes"

TL;DR Summary
Tesla is recalling 1.6 million vehicles in China to address issues with its Autopilot system that could lead to collisions. The recall affects various models produced between 2014 and 2023, and the fix will be implemented through an over-the-air software update. The recall aims to prevent "misuse" of Autopilot by adding new controls and alerts to ensure drivers remain engaged. Additionally, a smaller recall for certain Model S and Model X vehicles addresses a risk of doors opening during crashes. This follows a similar large-scale recall in the US, posing challenges to Tesla's marketing of its advanced driver-assistance features.
