Tesla (NASDAQ: TeslaToyota Motor Corp. is set to conduct a remote recall of about 1.7 million vehicles in China, the State Administration for Market Regulation said.

This recall will be implemented through an over-the-air software update, and affects both imported and domestically manufactured models.
The recall will include imported Model S and Model X vehicles and China-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. The agency said the problem will be resolved through an over-the-air software upgrade.
Last week, 1.85 million Tesla cars were recalled in the US over a similar problem — a software glitch that failed to detect an unlocked hood.
