FRANKFURT -- Germany's road traffic agency said it was recalling Tesla Models Y and 3 cars because of a fault in the automatic emergency call system that affects 59,000 vehicles globally.
The KBA watchdog said on its website dated June 29 that a software flaw was causing a breakdown of the eCall, which is designed to automatically contact emergency responders in the event of a serious accident.
Affected owners were told to call the manufacturer or drive to an authorized repair shop for a software update.
