US: Tesla Recalls Over 120,000 Vehicles

The United State’s road safety regulator has on Friday, announced that Tesla is recalling 120,423 vehicles in the U.S over the risk of cabin doors being unlocked during a crash.

This is coming days after announcing another recall by the electric-vehicle maker.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the Elon Musk-led automaker has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update to address the issue. 

The recall affects 2021-2023 Model S and Model X vehicles as the units fail to comply with certain federal safety standards for side-impact protection.

Tesla recorded its largest recall last week, where he recalled over 2 million vehicles in the U.S, covering nearly all of its vehicles on the country’s roads. 

It had said the recall was done to install new safeguards in its Autopilot advanced driver-assistance system, after a federal regulator cited safety concerns.
