    Tesla is voluntarily recalling about 3 million vehicles in China to address two separate safety issues, the latest setback for the company as it tries to remain a major player in the world's largest auto market.

  2. To address the issue, Tesla said it would “affix warning labels” to affected vehicles and remotely upgrade its window-control software so the windows automatically lower following an accident.

    The company said it plans to "affix warning labels" to recalled vehicles, and will upgrade its "window control software" with an over-the-air update so that windows automatically lower after an accident is detected. Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X vehicles, including some imports and those made in China between March 4, 2019, and April 29, 2026, are subject to the recall.

  3. For vehicles that can't be upgraded via over-the-air software updates, Tesla's recall notice said its service centers will "contact relevant users" to book repairs.
