The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Thursday that Tesla is recalling 578,607 vehicles in the U.S., the Financial Associated Press reported. Under NHTSA's increasing scrutiny, Tesla has issued ten recalls in the past four months. Tesla said it did not find any car accidents, injuries or fatalities related to the recall. NHTSA said the vehicles did not meet the minimum sound requirements for electric vehicles in the federal motor vehicle safety standards. The noise emitted by these electric vehicles when driving is very small, and pedestrians may not know that a vehicle is approaching, increasing the likelihood of a traffic accident. Separately, NHTSA argued that the "Boombox" feature violated federal safety standards that require electric vehicles to emit pedestrian warning noise and asked Tesla to disable the feature.
According to the surging news, "Boombox" is tesla's upgraded in-car function during Christmas 2020, which allows drivers to change the car horn sound, and the owner can choose the sound of goats and farts to replace the normal car horn sound. In addition, owners can also play music in the car through external speakers, and owners can upload five custom songs while driving a Tesla while playing their favorite music outside the car.
