Tesla Issues Large-Scale Recall for Vehicle Safety Concerns

A significant number of Tesla vehicles, totaling over 120,000, are being recalled due to non-compliant doors that may unlatch and open in the event of a crash, posing a potential safety hazard. The affected models include Tesla Models S and X from 2021 to 2023. Tesla plans to address the issue by providing a free over-the-air software update. The company has also announced a separate recall of nearly 2 million U.S. vehicles relating to safety concerns with its autopilot driver-assistance feature, following a federal investigation. Another recall in February impacted over 360,000 vehicles due to issues with Tesla's "full self-driving" software. Despite these developments, Tesla has not responded to requests for comment. In response to news coverage, Tesla took to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to defend the safety of its features and accused certain media outlets of misrepresenting the nature of their safety systems. Elon Musk, who owns X and Tesla, has not commented further on the recalls. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has stated that their investigation into Tesla's autopilot features is ongoing and they will continue to collaborate with the automaker to ensure safety standards are met.
