Tesla, the world’s largest electric car manufacturer, is experiencing a new security crisis. Within the scope of the latest warning made by Germany’s traffic regulator, 59 thousand Tesla vehicles were found to have software errors. It was pointed out that Model Y and Model 3 owners should be careful.
There is a security problem in 59 thousand Tesla models
Germany’s Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) traffic controller sent a critical warning to Tesla owners. Discovering that the eCall security feature was faulty, KBA said that 59,000 vehicles were in danger.
The latest safety flaw affecting 59,129 Model Y and Model 3 models could put Tesla drivers in great danger. Because the eCall feature does not work properly in vehicles, Tesla software cannot call first responders in case of a serious accident.
It has been stated that this security error exists in Tesla vehicles in different countries, including those produced at the Berlin Gigafactory, which opened in the past months. According to information from the German media, KBA warned vehicle owners and contacted Tesla officials.
After this warning from KBA, you may be wondering what eCall is. This safety service, commissioned by the European Union, aims to quickly provide first aid to road traffic accidents. This feature, which is available in vehicles in Europe, works as a kind of emergency call system.
Recently, we have witnessed multiple automakers recalling their vehicles. The last time a similar call came from Ford. A recall warning has been issued for Ford F-150 Ligthning models in the USA. Ford said there was an error in the vehicles that would cause the accident.
