The European Commission has ordered the recall of Tesla Model S and Model 3 cars produced since 2014, according to an alert posted online Friday. She fears a fragility of the front cover.

According to this reminder on the site of the Commission “Safety Gate”, “at high speed, the air intake between the bonnet and the radiator grille causes vibrations in the bonnet” of the Tesla sedans concerned.
“This can lead to stress fractures along the hood latch striker and its separation from the hood, causing the hood to pop open,” a possibility that “increases the risk of an accident,” according to the same source.
This recall covers the 2014-2021 production years of these models from the American manufacturer, a specialist in electric cars, according to the two sites. No information was immediately available on the number of vehicles affected.
