BEIJING (Reuters) - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is performing a remote recall of 1.7 million vehicles in China with an over-the-air software update, the state market regulator said on Tuesday.
The recall in Tesla's second-largest market involves imported Model S and X vehicles and China-made Model 3 and Y vehicles that could fail to detect when the front trunk lid is unlocked, resulting in potential safety hazards, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement.
(This story has been corrected to say recall involved imported Model S and X vehicles, not imported Model S and Y vehicles, in paragraph 2 )
