Tesla recalls 1.1 million cars in China over braking defect.
says the defect stems from the intensity of Tesla's regenerative braking system which, in the affected cars, can't be adjusted by the user. The cars also don't alert drivers when they've stepped on the accelerator pedal for an elongated time, which can increase the probability of pedal misapplication, according to the State Administration for Market Regulation, China's regulatory body.
Owners will not have to bring their cars to service centers, as the fix for the 1.1 million affected cars will happen via an over-the-air update. The update will allow drivers to adjust the regenerative braking's intensity, as well as notify drivers when the accelerator pedal's been pressed for a long time.
