Tesla, the leading electric vehicle manufacturer, has announced a recall of over 360,000 vehicles due to a potential risk of crash from its Full Self-Driving feature. The recall affects Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles manufactured between February 2016 and October 2016.
The recall was prompted by a recent crash involving a Tesla Model X that was using the Full Self-Driving feature. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigated the crash and determined that the feature was not functioning properly. As a result, Tesla has issued a voluntary recall of the affected vehicles.
Tesla has stated that the recall is intended to ensure the safety of its customers. The company is offering to update the software on the affected vehicles free of charge. The update will disable the Full Self-Driving feature until it can be further tested and improved.
Tesla has also stated that it is working with the NHTSA to improve the safety of its vehicles. The company is committed to ensuring that its vehicles are safe for its customers and that its features are functioning properly.
The recall is a reminder of the importance of safety when it comes to self-driving vehicles. While self-driving technology has the potential to revolutionize transportation, it is important to ensure that it is safe before it is released to the public. Tesla’s recall is a step in the right direction and shows that the company is taking safety seriously.
