Tesla recalls more than 120,000 vehicles in the US: road safety regulator
The recall affects 2021-2023 Model S and Model X vehicles because the units do not meet certain federal safety standards.
Tesla is recalling 120,423 vehicles in the US due to the risk of cabin doors becoming unlocked during a crash, the country's road safety regulator said Friday, days after the electric vehicle maker announced a new recall.
The Elon Musk-led automaker has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update to address the issue, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said.
The recall affects 2021-2023 Model S and Model X vehicles because the units do not meet certain federal safety standards for side-impact protection.
Tesla recalled more than 2 million vehicles in the U.S. last week, its largest recall ever, affecting nearly all of its vehicles on the country's roads.
The company had said the recall was issued to install new safeguards in its Autopilot advanced driver assistance system after a federal regulator cited safety concerns.
