Tesla recalls nearly 2.2 million vehicles in the United States
According to China News Agency, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced on the 2nd local time that Tesla, a US electric vehicle manufacturer, is recalling nearly 2.2 million vehicles in the country due to inadequate brake, parking, and anti lock brake warning lights on the dashboard.
According to a document released by NHTSA on the 2nd, the reason for this recall is that the font of the brake, parking, and anti lock brake warning lights on the vehicle's dashboard is smaller than the requirements of federal safety standards. This may result in important safety information being difficult for drivers to detect, thereby increasing the risk of collisions.
This recall will be completed through online software updates, covering almost all vehicles sold by Tesla in the United States, including the 2012 to 2023 Model S, 2016 to 2023 Model X, 2017 to 2023 Model 3, 2019 to 2024 Model Y, and 2024 Cybertruck.
In addition, according to a document released by NHTSA on the 1st, the US government's investigation into Tesla's steering issue has been upgraded to engineering analysis, which may affect nearly 335000 vehicles.
Recently, Tesla has frequently experienced large-scale recalls. In December 2023, NHTSA said that Tesla would recall more than 2030000 electric vehicles in the United States due to the potential safety hazard of the auto drive system.
At the beginning of this year, according to the website of the State Administration for Market Regulation on the 5th, Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. recalled some imported and domestically produced electric vehicles, with a recall quantity of over 1.6 million vehicles.
