Tesla Model Y recalled

Tesla is recalling over 7000 examples of its top-selling Model Y but, as with most recalls from the brand, this is being resolved with an over-the-air update.

“Due to a software issue, the driver side window’s automatic protection system may not operate as intended and result in the window closing with excessive force on any obstruction such as a body part,” the company says in its recall notice.

“If a body part is in the window space when the driver’s side window is closing, it can increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.”
