EV giant Tesla Inc TSLA is recalling over 120,000 of its higher-end Model S and X vehicles due to a potential issue where the doors may be unlocked in the event of a crash.
What Happened: The company submitted a filing to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, stating that the model year 2022-2023 Model S and X vehicles failed to comply with safety standards, necessitating a recall.
As a remedy, Tesla will issue a free software update to address the problem.
Why It Matters: This marks the second recall by the EV giant in the last two weeks. In the previous week, Tesla recalled over 2 million vehicles equipped with all versions of Autosteer, citing insufficient controls to prevent misuse.
The company offered a fix through a free software update. The recall was initiated following a 2021 NHTSA investigation related to 11 incidents involving stationary first-responder vehicles and Tesla cars using Autosteer.
