Tesla to Issue Software Update for 8,700 Vehicles in China to Address Rear Camera Issue

The software update aims to fix a rear camera problem that could increase the risk of accidents, according to China's market regulator.

Tesla is set to send a software update to 8,700 vehicles in China, including 1,071 imported Model S and X, and 7,629 domestically produced Model 3 sedans.
The recall is due to unstable rear camera integrated circuit communications, which could affect the driver's field of vision when reversing.
This action is classified as a product recall under Chinese regulations, though it's unclear if drivers can return vehicles for refunds.
The software issue follows several recent recalls by Tesla in both the U.S. and China, addressing various safety concerns.
Tesla's proactive measures include over-the-air updates and, if necessary, service center interventions for vehicles unreachable by OTA updates.
