Tesla recalls 1.8 million cars over hood issue
Tesla has issued a recall for 1.8 million cars in the United States, one of the largest recalls in the company's history.
The issue has to do with the cars' software failing to detect an unlatched hood, Reuters reported on Tuesday. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an unlatched hood can "fully open and obstruct the driver's view and increasing the risk of a crash."

Fortunately for Tesla and Tesla car owners, this is one of those recalls which can be fixed via an over-the-air software update, and Tesla has already started rolling out a fix. The company also issued a smaller recall for a similar issue earlier in July.
Tesla's list of recalls is growing long. While most issues were fixed with a software update, some, like the recent recall of nearly all Cybertrucks over a windshield wiper issue, did require owners to visit a Tesla service center.

The latest recall affects the majority of Tesla cars on the road, but it's not as big as the recall from last December, which affected more than 2 million Teslas, which was basically all of them at the time.
Tesla keeps an official, though oddly sparse, list of recalls affecting its vehicles on its website.
