Tesla is recalling over 1.8 million vehicles in the United States due to risk of a software failure to detect an unlatched hood, the national auto safety regulator said on Tuesday.
An unlatched hood could fully open and obstruct the driver's view, risking a crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. Tesla has started rolling out an over-the-air software update to fix the issue, the NHTSA said. The updated software detects an open hood and alerts drivers of the situation. The recall affects certain 2021-2024 Model 3, Model S, Model X, and 2020-2024 Model Y vehicles, the regulator said.
While fewer such events occurred in Europe and North America, Tesla said it began engineering studies in the regions to inspect hood latch assemblies last month and decided to issue a recall earlier this month. The recall is Tesla's biggest since December when it had issued a recall covering 2.03 million U.S. vehicles ? or nearly all of its cars on U.S. roads at the time ? to install new safeguards in its Autopilot system.
