The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says a hood that doesn’t close can open slightly and obstruct the driver’s view, increasing the risk of a crash.
Tesla has begun rolling out an over-the-air software update to fix this issue. Updated software detects when the hood is open and alerts the driver to the situation.
The recall affects some Model 3, Model S, Model X and Model Y vehicles According to the company, the affected vehicles are equipped with a hood latch manufactured in China by Magna Closures Co Ltd.
It’s Tesla’s biggest recall since December, when the company announced it would recall 2.03 million vehicles in the US – or nearly all of its vehicles on US roads at the time – to establish new -safety precautions in its Autopilot system.
It was previously reported that Tesla will recall 125,227 vehicles in the United States due to a malfunction in the seat belt warning system.
In April, it became known that Tesla is recalling about 4 thousand Cybertruck electric vehicles. On these vehicles, the gas pedal cover needs to be replaced, which can come loose and come off the trim.
And in January it was reported that Tesla was recalling nearly 200 thousand 2023 Model S, X and Y vehicles due to a software glitch.
