Tesla is recalling nearly 500,000 cars due to hoods that could fly open while driving and faulty backup cameras
Nearly 500,000 Tesla cars are being recalled, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced this month.
Of the two recalls issued by the NHTSA, the more immediately pressing one concerns the Model S hood latch. Just shy of 120,000 Tesla Model S cars, from 2014 through 2020, could have an issue where the hood doesn't properly latch closed.Since Tesla's vehicles are all-electric, there is no engine in the front of the car. Instead, the front hood is a cover for the car's front trunk .
"The front trunk latch assembly may be misaligned," the recall said,"preventing the secondary hood latch from engaging." Should that secondary hood latch not engage, it said,"the hood could open unexpectedly, obstructing the driver's view and increasing the risk of a crash.
