BEIJING—Chinese regulators have recently summoned Tesla Inc. TSLA 0.26% on quality issues, the country’s top market regulator said Monday.

Regulators have required the electric car maker to abide by Chinese laws and regulations and strengthen internal management to ensure the quality and safety of its products, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement.

Consumers have complained about quality problems including abnormal acceleration, battery fire and issues with its remote update system, the SAMR said.

The statement by the Chinese regulator came days after the electric car maker recalled Model X sport-utility vehicles and Model S luxury sedans, both in the U.S. and China.

Tesla couldn’t be reached for comment immediately.
