Tesla, Inc. TSLA was hit with negative headlines on Friday, when reports revealed a massive recall of 1.1 million vehicles by Chinese regulators.<\/p>\n
China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) said that the recall was issued in response to a problem preventing drivers from choosing the regenerative braking system and the lack of a warning when the accelerator pedal is pressed hard for a long time.<\/p>\n
According to the agency, both issues increase the risk of collision and pose a safety hazard.<\/p>\n
SAMR also said in its release that Tesla China intends to execute over-the-air upgrades to resolve the recalled vehicles issues.<\/p>\n
Media coverage of the recall has since appeared to enrage Tesla fans and, even, disappoint CEO Elon Musk.<\/p>\n
On Friday, a Tesla influencer tweeted a Community Note or a note that Twitter contributors can leave on any tweet that called out a Bloomberg tweet on Tesla's response to the \"recall. The note said that there was no physical recall involved and that the recall itself would be an over-the-air software update.<\/p>\n
