According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the malfunction increases the risk of injury and means that electric vehicles do not meet federal safety standards.
Electric car manufacturer Tesla is recalling more than 120,000 Model S and X in the United States due to a potential problem that could cause unlocked doors to open during an accident.
This was reported by Engadget.
This is the second significant electric car recall in the last few weeks for the company.
According to the publication, Tesla is recalling 120,423 Model S and X vehicles manufactured between 2021 and 2023 due to this potential issue, which violates federal safety standards set by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Tesla has already released a free software update to address this issue, and written notifications to owners are scheduled to be sent out in February.
