Germany’s road traffic agency is recalling Tesla models Y and 3 due to a fault in the automatic emergency call system.
It’s a fault that could possibly impact around 59,000 vehicles globally.
Germany’s watchdog says a software flaw is causing a breakdown of the e-Call, a system designed to alert authorities after a serious accident.
The glitch follows the company delivered almost 18 per cent fewer electric vehicles in the second quarter than in the previous.
This is largely due to China’s Covid-19-related shutdowns and the ongoing supply chain crunch.
Meanwhile, CEO Elon Musk says Tesla’s new factories in both Texas and Berlin are “losing billions of dollars”.
Most recently, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall involving approximately 130,000 vehicles over a glitch that could cause the infotainment system in 2021 and 2022 Tesla cars to overheat.
The news of a new safety issue comes after Tesla reported a nearly 18 percent decline in vehicle deliveries on Saturday.
