The US NHTSA has issued a recall on every Tesla vehicle sold in the US with the Autopilot feature installed. Calling the feature a safety hazard as it can be too easily misused due to inadequate driver monitoring.
The safety recall requires Tesla to perform a software update on all affected vehicles that will force drivers to monitor the vehicle more closely.
No word if a similar recall will be made in Canada.
