Recall notifications have increased in tandem with EV sales. Ford recalled 49,000 Mustang Mach-E SUVs last summer due to worries that a safety flaw may make the car immobile. When it was found that loose hub nuts might cause the wheels to become detached while driving, the Toyota bZ4X was recalled. Tens of thousands of Tesla cars have been recalled, most recently due to malfunctioning backlights. Other electric vehicles have also been recalled due to software problems and other minor difficulties.
