[Asia Economy Reporter Ki Ha-young]American electric vehicle company Tesla plans to recall approximately 54,000 vehicles equipped with the Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta version in the United States, according to reports by the Associated Press and others on the 1st (local time).

This is due to concerns that the FSD software allows a 'rolling stop,' where the vehicle only slightly reduces speed without coming to a complete stop at stop signs, potentially causing safety risks at intersections where a full stop is required.

According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall targets Model S and X vehicles sold from 2016 to 2022, Model 3 vehicles sold from 2017 to 2022, and Model Y vehicles sold from 2020 to 2022. NHTSA explained that Tesla will update the software to disable the rolling stop feature.
