Tesla Recalls Over 2 Million Vehicles in U.S. Due to Autopilot Safety Issue

Tesla is recalling nearly all of the vehicles it sold in the U.S., more than 2 million across its model lineup, to fix a defective system that's supposed to ensure drivers are paying attention when they use Autopilot. The recall comes after a two-year investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration into a series of crashes that happened while the Autopilot partially automated driving system was in use. The agency says its investigation found Autopilot's method of ensuring that drivers are paying attention can be inadequate and can lead to foreseeable misuse of the system. The recall covers Tesla models Y, S, 3, and X produced between Oct. 5, 2012, and Dec. 7 of this year.
