VinFast has issued a voluntary safety recall for 999 VF8 City Edition vehicles due to a software error in the dashboard display

 

VinFast has issued a voluntary safety recall for 999 VF8 City Edition vehicles due to a software error in the dashboard display, causing it to go blank and potentially increasing the risk of a crash, according to the NHTSA.  Of the 999 recalled cars, over 700 are yet to be delivered. According to VinFast, no field reports of problems have been made; thus, the recall is a preventative step. This recall was announced immediately following VinFast's merger with SPAC Black Spade Acquisition Co, with an estimated potential equity value of $23B. In February, VinFast recalled 2,781 VF8 vehicles in Vietnam due to front braking problems. The first VinFast vehicles are expected to arrive in Europe in July, and a software update to fix the dashboard problem is planned for May 25.
