    Tesla demanded to withdraw the 158 thousand electric cars due to problems with touchscreen

    От Tesla потребовали отозвать 158 тысяч электрокаров из-за проблем с тачскринами

    The national Directorate of traffic safety on highways (NHTSA) of the United States urged Tesla to revoke 158 thousand electric cars. Reason — dangerous defects in the touch screens, Reuters reports.

    In an official letter, the regulator requests the recall of the Model S 2012-2018 years of production and Model X 2016-2018. In operation of the main control unit MCU (media control unit) the above models may experience problems that incapacitate the touchscreen.

    Because of this, you may lose the image from the rear camera, which is unsafe when driving in reverse, and fail the heating system of the windshield, causing reduced visibility in bad weather. Also it affects work, turn signals and autopilot.

    The Agency noted that earlier for the same reason already 9 times withdrew other car manufacturers.

    Tesla has not yet commented on the letter, but have to answer to NHTSA on January 27. In case of failure to return the car the company is obliged to explain its decision.

    As Reuters writes, the situation is unusual in that, as a General rule, NHTSA does not send such requests, and the manufacturers themselves agree that opinion, if in the process of negotiation required by regulators.
