Tesla Recalling Nearly 363,000 Cars Over Driver Assistant Technology Issues

US electric car maker Tesla is recalling nearly 363,000 cars due to problems with driver assistant technology that increase crash risks, according to a statement from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), obtained by the AFP news agency.

This recall covers Model S, Model X, Model 3 and Model Y vehicles manufactured between 2016 and 2023 and equipped with Full Self-Driving Beta technology.

To fix this problem, Tesla will release a software update that can be installed remotely.

Problems with the Full Self-Driving Beta system mean the cars are capable of executing maneuvers “that could violate traffic laws, increasing the risk of crashes if the driver does not intervene,” NHTSA said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter to agree with a user who points out that the term “recall” should not be used for problems that can be solved without major repairs.
