Tesla Shakes Up the Electric Vehicle Industry with Massive Recall
In a shocking turn of events, Tesla has announced a recall of nearly all its electric vehicles in the United States. This comes after the company’s previous recall of over 2 million vehicles just two months ago. The latest recall affects popular models such as Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y, and the Cyber Truck.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated that the recall is due to warning lights with a smaller font size, which can make critical safety information difficult to read, potentially leading to accidents.
Tesla has already taken action to address the issue by releasing a software update to fix the problem. The company plans to notify affected owners by March 30, 2024.
The NHTSA’s investigation into Tesla began over two years ago and involved incidents with first-responder vehicles and Tesla vehicles operating with Autosteer engaged.
In addition to the U.S. recall, Tesla is also recalling 1.62 million vehicles exported to China for similar concerns. This latest development has sent shockwaves through the electric vehicle industry.
