Tesla recalls 120,000 cars in United States over risk of doors getting unlocked during crash

<p>Elon Musk-owned Tesla has been directed to recall more than 80,000 cars, including some manufactured in China and others imported, due to software and seat belt issues, a statement from the Chinese market regulator said.</p>

<p>The mass-recall includes 67,698 Model S and Model X cars imported to China from as early as September 25, 2013 to November 21, 2020. It has been reported that software glitches have been affecting the battery management system (BMS) of the electric vehicles. The company said that it will upgrade the software of the recalled lot of Tesla.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from this, Tesla has also recalled 2,736 imported Model 3 cars manufactured between January and November 2019, and 10,127 China-made ones of the same model produced between October 14, 2019 and September 26, 2022.&nbsp;</p>
