Tesla Model Y and Model 3 Recalled in Germany Due to Software Defect

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] German federal transportation authorities have ordered a recall of Tesla's Model Y and Model 3 vehicles due to a 'software defect' in the emergency system, foreign media reported on the 3rd (local time).

The German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) stated that a software defect was found in the emergency system that reports situations to authorities in the event of a serious accident, and issued a recall order for Tesla Model Y and Model 3 vehicles as of the 29th of last month.

The KBA only has recall authority over vehicles within Germany, but explained on its website that Tesla vehicles with the same defect number 59,129 units worldwide.

German broadcaster RBB reported that the recall targets vehicles of the models produced this year, including Model Y vehicles produced at the Tesla factory near Berlin.

The Model Y is produced not only at the Berlin factory but also at the Fremont factory in California, USA, and the Shanghai factory in China.
