Due to its software failing to recognize an open hood.

Tesla has issued yet another recall – this time, not for the seemingly problem-ridden Cybertruck but rather for 1.85 million of its Model 3, Model S, Model Y and Model X cars. The recall specifically impacts those classes of cars produced between 2021 and 2024 for the Model 3, Model S and Model X, and vehicles made between 2020 and 2024 for the Model Y.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Tesla’s software is prone to failing to notify drivers if the hood of the car is unlatched, which could then fly up and block their view while driving.

Tesla said it began investigating customer complaints back in March, reporting that there have been no injuries or deaths related to the issue. In June, the automaker rolled out a software update to amend the problem.

Tesla is no stranger to recalls, having just recalled all 12,000 of its Cybertrucks due to a faulty windshield wiper, building on a history of recalls that have stemmed from its Autopilot feature, accelerator pedal and more.
