Tesla recalls over 285,000 vehicles in China, most of them locally made

FOX Business’ Charlie Gasparino discusses Tesla CEO Elon Musk announcement on Starlink.

Tesla Inc.  is recalling more than 285,000 passenger vehicles in China — including more than 90% of locally made vehicles sold by the company — because of safety risks associated with their cruise-control system, the country’s market regulator said.

The recall of the U.S. company’s automobiles came after an investigation into possible defects, which found that the cruise-control system could be accidentally activated and potentially result in an unexpected speed increase, the State Administration for Market Regulation said Saturday.

The recall includes 249,855 Model 3 sedans and Model Y compact crossover vehicles manufactured by Tesla’s Shanghai plant, as well as 35,665 imported Model 3 cars, the regulator said.
