\"car-8607713_640\"Recently, Tesla recalled<\/a> certain 2025 Model 3 and 2026 Model Y cars that could lose the capacity to accelerate while driving, due to a battery pack defect that could cause sudden power loss. The United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) pointed out that this raises the risk of crashes in a notice it issued about the recall.

This can cause a loss of propulsion, which in turn may increase the crash risk.<\/p>\n
