The recall addresses an issue with touchscreen displays that could fail and raise the risk of crash in 2012-2018 Model S and 2016-2018 Model X vehicles.
Tesla has issued a voluntary recall of approximately 15,000 Model X electric SUVs in an effort to replace a power steering component that has caused concerns.
Tesla plans to halt production of its Model 3 compact vehicle, in a move that reportedly serves as an attempt to work out problems which have slowed assembly.
The reason this crash was so severe is because the crash attenuator, a highway safety barrier designed to reduce the impact into a concrete lane divider, had been crushed in a prior accident without being replaced.
Tesla employees say Tesla is manufacturing a high ratio of flawed parts and vehicles, leading to more rework and repairs at its factory in Fremont, Calif.
