Tesla recalls 300K vehicles over taillight software glitch

▤ Summary

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tesla is recalling more than 300,000 vehicles in the U.S. because a software glitch can make taillights go off intermittently, increasing the risk of a collision. Tesla said in documents posted Saturday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the glitch may affect one or both taillights on certain Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. The automaker said it is releasing an online software update that will fix the problem. Tesla became aware of the problem last month after receiving complaints, primarily from customers outside the U.S., that their vehicle taillamps were not illuminating. The company says in documents that vehicles in production and those set for delivery got the update starting Nov. 6.
