Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Will Recall 200,000 Vehicles in the U.S.

EV major Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) will recall nearly 200,000 Model S, X, and Y vehicles in the U.S., the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated on Friday. The company is recalling these vehicles due to a software malfunction that could hamper drivers’ visibility while driving in reverse, increasing the chances of a crash.

The move follows a U.S. vehicle recall for Autopilot system upgrades that Tesla did almost two months ago. The vehicle recall for the software malfunction will be for Tesla’s 2023 vehicles, and the company will release a free, over-the-air (OTA) software update to resolve the issue. Tesla had identified 81 warranty claims regarding the rearview condition as of January 22.
