The rapid rise in the world of electric cars continues. The most important name in this field is undoubtedly Tesla. The company left behind a successful year. However, Elon Musk’s company is on the agenda with its problems as much as its successes.
Tesla recalls 2.2 million vehicles in the US
Tesla’s recall of its vehicles was no longer newsworthy. So much so that the company has recalled some of its vehicles in certain locations every year to fix the problem due to a software issue. However, the latest incident seems to raise a big question mark over Tesla.
According to a report shared by Reuters, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has concluded that the wrong font and size of the warning lights in Tesla vehicles increased the number of accidents. The agency asked Tesla to recall 2.2 million vehicles in the US. This number refers to almost all Tesla vehicles in the US.
“Warning lights with a smaller font size can increase the risk of a crash by making it difficult to read critical safety information on the dashboard,” NHTSA warned Tesla. According to the report, the recall includes Tesla’s Model S, Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, Model Y and 2024 Cybertruck vehicles.
The 2.2 million recall, even though we are only at the beginning of 2024, is not the first problem Tesla has experienced this year. Sales of the refreshed Model 3 have been halted in Australia. The company had a technical problem with the rear seat design of the electric sedan and failed to get approval from the country’s regulatory agencies. As a result, shipments were halted and Model 3 sales were suspended.
