Vietnam’s EV Maker VinFast recalls first batch of vehicles shipped to US
Vietnamese electric vehicle maker VinFast is recalling all of its first batch of vehicles it shipped to the United States following a security warning issued by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTS).
In a statement, the NHTS said VinFast was recalling 999 VF8 models because of a software error in the cars’ display, which prevented critical safety information from being shown.
It said that “may increase the risk of a crash”.
VinFast has shipped two batches of VF8 to the United States with a total of 2,097 units. Reached for comment, a VinFast spokesperson confirmed the recall and said the company would issue a response later.
