WATCH: Tesla is recalling almost 54,000 vehicles which it fears may fail to obey stop signs
will recall 53,822 U.S. vehicles with the company's Full Self-Driving software that may allow some models to conduct "rolling stops" and not come to a complete stop at some intersections posing a safety risk.
NHTSA noted federal law "prohibits manufacturers from selling vehicles with defects posing unreasonable risks to safety, including intentional design choices that are unsafe." The feature, which appeared to violate state laws that require vehicles to come to a complete stop and required drivers to opt-in for what it dubbed "Assertive" mode, drew attention on social media and prompted NHTSA to raise questions with Tesla.filed with the auto safety agency, Tesla said it met with NHTSA staff on Jan. 10 and Jan. 19 "to discuss the functionality, including operating parameters" and the automaker on Jan. 20 agreed to the recall.
