2023 Vinfast VF 8: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 23V355000 · 999 units potentially affected · filed May 18, 2023
What's wrong
VinFast Auto, LLC (VinFast) is recalling certain 2023 VF8 vehicles. A software error may cause the multifunction head unit (MHU) display to go blank. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Control and Displays."
Why it matters
A blank MHU display will not show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, which may increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
VinFast will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 1, 2023. Owners may contact VinFast customer service at 1-833-503-0600. VinFast's number for this recall is VPAC-74.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
