Tesla is recalling 2.74 million Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in China.
China’s State Administration for Market Regulation found existing steering-wheel torque monitoring insufficient for driver attentiveness.
Tesla will deploy an immediate over-the-air software update to add cabin-camera monitoring.
This update supplements steering-wheel checks to ensure drivers remain focused and reduce crash risks.
The new monitoring method aligns China’s safety standards with Tesla’s North American fleet.
Tesla also issued a separate recall for nearly 3 million vehicles on the same day.
This second action addresses issues with hard-to-find emergency door releases.
