Vietnam's VinFast SUVs recalled because dash display goes blank

No one ever told VinFast that breaking into the automobile market would be easy.

The Vietnam-based manufacturer is issuing a recall of its electric 2023 VF8 VinFast SUVs to remedy a software error in the dashboard display that prevented critical safety information from being shown.

Essentially, the glitch makes the dashboard screen go blank while driving or stationary, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says this "may increase the risk of a crash." The display is the only screen on the dash, since the vehicle has no traditional cluster of gauges.
