Chinese officials said on Saturday Tesla would ‘recall’ almost 300,000 China-made and imported Model 3 and Model Y cars for an online software update related to assisted driving, with owners not needed to return their vehicles.

The State Administration for Market Regulation said on its website that the move is associated with an assisted driving function in electric cars, which can presently be activated by drivers accidentally, causing sudden acceleration.

The remote online software recall — a first for Tesla cars constructed in China — covers 249,855 China-made Model 3 and Model Y cars, and 35,665 imported Model 3 sedans.

Tesla, currently making Model 3 sedans and Model Y sport-utility vehicles in Shanghai, sold 33,463 China-made electric cars in May, the industry data showed.
