NHTSA warned consumers in a statement that VinFast's software bug would cause vehicle head-up display failure under some conditions, resulting in a blank display screen, preventing key safety information from being displayed and possibly increasing the risk of a car crash, the report said. VinFast responded that it would release an OTA update on May 25 to fix the problem.
