Tesla Issues Massive Recall Of Over 2M Vehicles Over Autosteer Concerns
- 4 months ago
EV giant Tesla Inc is recalling 2.03 million vehicles equipped with all versions of Autosteer after deeming the feature’s controls to be insufficient to prevent misuse.
What Happened: The company said in a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that there might be an increased risk of crash when the feature is engaged but the driver does not assume responsibility to take over as needed.
The over 2 million vehicles recalled include Tesla’s higher-end models S and X as well as its lower-end Model 3 and Y vehicles made between 2012 and 2023.
As a remedy, Tesla will release a software update free of charge.
