Tesla Recalls 20K US Vehicles Over Blinding Headlights
TSLA is trading near its 52-week low of $297.38 (11% above the low).
Summary
Tesla is recalling 20,349 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in the US because low-beam headlights may be excessively bright, increasing crash risk. NHTSA says a remedy is not yet finalized. This adds to regulatory pressure following a July probe into 1.2 million vehicles for suspension failures. The recall is modest relative to Tesla's fleet but reinforces a pattern of safety scrutiny that could weigh on sentiment.
