Major car brand recalls over 20,000 vehicles due to crash risk

Tesla has confirmed it is recalling 20,349 Model 3 (2017–2023) and Model Y (2020–2023) vehicles due to a potential crash risk. The issue involves the headlight low beams possibly producing light output above the maximum allowed, which could reduce visibility for oncoming drivers. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also warned the problem could increase the likelihood of a crash. The recall involves vehicles from 2025 and 2026 product years. If affected, the car could potentially disable hazard lights, turn signals, the seatbelt warning system and smart key reminders. Dealers will update software free and notify owners, with letters sent in September.
