Tesla Recalls 1.6 Million Cars in China to Make Autopilot Fixes

HONG KONG—Tesla is conducting its largest ever recall in China that regulators stated was to repair points with its driver-assistance options that might enhance the chance of crashes, a transfer that follows related fixes within the U.S.

The software program repair, which will likely be delivered remotely, comes because the electric-vehicle maker faces fierce competitors on the earth’s largest auto market, the place it trails homegrown rival BYD.
