Tesla Inc. will release a software update for around 1.2 million cars in China to fix power steering and rear-view camera issues. The software update was needed since the cars had two software issues which could cause the electronic power steering system to fail as well as cause a potential malfunction of the cars’ rearview cameras which can impair vision while reversing, according to the report which cited a statement from the State Administration for Market Regulation.
The power steering issue affected 871,087 Chinese-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles while the camera issue affected 335,716 cars including a mix of imported Model S and Model X electric vehicles and domestically produced Model 3 and Model Ys, according to the report.
