VinFast recalls first batch of US-bound EVs over safety and technical issues.
TL;DR Summary
Vietnamese EV maker VinFast has issued a voluntary recall for the entire first batch of 999 VF8 electric SUVs sent to the US over a software issue that poses safety risks. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that a software error may cause the multifunction head unit (MHU) display to go blank, which may not show critical safety information, including the speedometer or warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash. VinFast is rolling out an over-the-air (OTA) update to fix the glitch and will notify owners through mail starting May 29.
