AutoExec Summary
US electric vehicle giant Tesla is recalling over 1.85 million cars in the US due to a fault that could cause the bonnet to open while driving. The affected models include the 2021-2024 Model 3, Model S, Model X, and 2020-2024 Model Y. The issue can be fixed with an over-the-air software update. The recall is linked to bonnet latches produced by Magna Closures in China. While complaints have been raised in Europe, no recall has been issued there. Despite three reported incidents in the US, no crashes or injuries have occurred. This recall is not Tesla’s largest in the US, with a previous recall for defective Autopilot technology affecting over 2 million vehicles.

Brands mentioned: Tesla, Magna Closures.
