Tesla Recalls Millions of Vehicles Amid Probe of Autopilot Crashes

Tesla is recalling more than two million vehicles over government contentions that its Autopilot system can be misused by drivers, in the midst of a yearslong probe by the top U.S. auto-safety regulator into crashes involving the driver-assistance technology.

The safety recall, which covers nearly all Tesla vehicles sold in the U.S., could dent the carmaker’s reputation. It is unlikely to be expensive to implement and won’t meaningfully limit drivers’ access to Tesla’s advanced driver-assistance features.
