Tesla is remembering more than 120,000 lorries over doors that stop working to adhere to U.S. federal government guidelines.
In a letter published on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s site Thursday, Tesla acknowledged the impacted doors can be opened throughout a crash, which might trigger the door to unlatch and open, increasing the danger of injury.

As a treatment, Tesla is launching an over-the-air (OTA) software application upgrade totally free of charge. Owner alert letters are anticipated to be sentFeb 17, 2024.
Last week, Tesla revealed a recall for almost all its U.S. lorries– some 2 million– due to issues about the security of its auto-pilot driver-assistance function. A federal examination discovered that its autosteer function might have led some motorists to desert obligation for the operation of their lorries.
That recall followed one in February impacting more than 360,000 lorries associated with Tesla’s “full self-driving” software application.
Tesla did not react to several ask for remark.
In a post recently on X, previously referred to as Twitter, Tesla issued a statement implicating some news outlets of misinterpreting “the nature of our safety systems,” including that “incontrovertible data” programs Tesla’s functions are “saving lives and preventing injury.”
Elon Musk owns X and Tesla.
A NHTSA representative informed NBC News recently that its examination into Tesla’s auto-pilot functions “remains open as we monitor the efficacy of Tesla’s remedies and continue to work with the automaker to ensure the highest level of safety.”
