US electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla recalled 435,132 “Model 3” and “Model Y” electric cars exported to China due to a software error that caused the taillights not to light.
In a statement from the State Market Regulatory Administration of China, it was stated that a bug in the firmware caused the taillights to turn off when the vehicles were first started, which could pose a risk of collision in dark conditions.
