Tesla is recalling 1.8 million US vehicles due to a faulty hood latch that increases the risk of accidents.
Unlatched Hood Detection Issue
Due to a problem with the hood, which could raise the likelihood of a crash, Tesla is recalling over 1.8 million vehicles, Reuters reports.
The hood latch assembly could not be able to detect an unlatched hood once it has been opened, which is why Elon Musk's Tesla is recalling certain Model 3, Model S, Model X, and 2020–2024 Model Y vehicles.
Risk of Unlatched Hood While Driving
When the hood is not fastened, it can open all the way while the car is moving, which could make it harder for the driver to see and increase the risk of an accident. No accidents, injuries, or fatalities have been reported to the company regarding this matter.
A request for comment was not promptly addressed by Tesla.
Investigation Started in China
On March 25, Tesla started looking into the reports of problems with Model 3 and Model Y cars in China. The defect affecting Chinese vehicles was determined to be a latch switch deformation by the middle of April, according to the carmaker.
Tesla has kept digging into the matter and has discovered that the incidence rates were higher in China than in North America and Europe, but they don't know why.
According to Tesla, three warranty claims or field reports involving U.S. vehicles as of July 20 have been discovered as being connected to or potentially related to the hood issue.
Per MarketScreener, in response to the problem, Tesla has distributed a free software upgrade, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. On September 22nd, letters informing owners should be sent out.
