Tesla will rectify software defects affecting 77,650 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles produced in China to mitigate safety risks, as per Tuesday's announcement from China's market regulator.

This action, categorized as a product recall under Chinese regulations, is prompted by software malfunctions that may prevent the immediate display of monitored tire pressure upon vehicle startup. It remains uncertain whether drivers will need to return their vehicles to Tesla for potential refunds.

Additionally, the U.S. electric vehicle manufacturer is recalling 63 imported Model S and Model X cars in China due to problems with the driver's frontal airbag.
