Electric car maker Tesla has recalled more than 321,000 cars in the United States due to defective taillights. That follows Friday's recall of nearly 30,000 Model X vehicles due to an airbag issue.
According to Arabiya.net, that move led to Tesla's stock falling by nearly 3%, to its lowest level in nearly two years.
In the filing posted Saturday to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the electric vehicle manufacturer said the tail light recall covers the 2023 Tesla Model 3 and 2020-2023 Model Y, NBC reported. News.
Tesla wrote in a statement that it would post an over-the-air update to correct the backlight issue and said it had no reports of any accidents or injuries related to the recall.
The company said the recall came after customer complaints it became aware of in late October, mostly from overseas markets, claiming the car's tail lights were not working.
Investigation found that in rare cases the lights may not work intermittently due to an anomaly that may cause false detection during the vehicle wake-up process. Tesla said it has received three warranty reports regarding the issue.
Tesla reported 19 US recalls in 2022 covering more than 3.7 million vehicles, including 4 recalls in November, according to NHTSA data.
