Tesla Recalls 1.85 Million U.S. Vehicles over Unlatched Hood Issue

This is just the latest setback for the troubled automaker

Tesla is recalling 1.85 million vehicles in the United States due to risk of software failure to detect an unlatched hood, the automaker said.

An unlatched hood could fully open and obstruct the driver's view, raising the risk of a crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said.

Tesla in mid-June began rolling out an over-the-air software update to fix the issue, NHTSA said. The updated software detects an open hood and alerts drivers. It affects 2021-2024 Model 3, Model S, Model X and 2020-2024 Model Y vehicles.
