China’s government announced on Monday that Tesla is going to fix the software for more than 1.1 million vehicles in the country due to a braking issue. The announcement comes after an investigation was launched into the electric car maker by China’s market regulator, which claimed that the automaker had sometimes refused to address quality concerns raised by customers. Tesla has pushed back against these claims and said that it wants to “make things right” with Chinese consumers. However, this latest incident highlights the challenges that foreign automakers may face in one of their most important markets. Tesla has been a leader in the electric car space but it will have to continue to improve its quality and customer service to compete effectively in China.
