The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened the probe with the company reporting four crashes after Teslas entered areas of low visibility including sun glare, fog and airborne dust.

One tech analyst said his most recent test-drive of the system produced “stunning” errors and left his 16-year-old son, who accompanied him, “terrified.”

The recall is for trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail.

The favorable vote doesn’t mean CEO Musk will get the all-stock compensation anytime soon. The package is likely to remain tied up in the Delaware Chancery Court for months.

But the growth in age is starting to slow as new vehicle sales recover from pandemic-related shortages of parts, including computer chips.

The companies have acknowledged that there’s little hope of repairing most of the affected vehicles until June or later, roughly nine months after they announced the recalls.

The recall comes after a two-year investigation by safety regulators into crashes that happened while the company’s Autopilot driving system was in use.

United Auto Workers members have approved a new contract with GM, the first Detroit automaker to get a ratified deal that could end a contentious and lengthy labor dispute.

The United Auto Workers union hadn’t posted vote totals yet, but workers at several large factories who finished voting in the past few days have turned down the deal by fairly large margins.

The government has been investigating Autopilot for crashing into emergency vehicles parked on freeways, as well as hitting motorcycles and crossing tractor-trailers.

The Mitsubishi Mirage is the last car available for under $20,000, and even it appears to be headed into oblivion.

General Motors, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes and Stellantis said Wednesday they will share in a multibillion dollar investment to put 30,000 plugs in urban areas and along travel corridors.

The EPA is proposing requiring as many as two-thirds of new vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2032.

The recall, part of part of a larger investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration into Tesla’s automated driving systems, is the most serious action taken yet against the electric vehicle maker.

The recall applies to Dodge Magnums, Chargers and Challengers, as well as Chrysler 300s. The affected model years are 2005 to 2010.
