Tesla is recalling 20,349 vehicles in the U.S. over low-beam ​headlights that may ‌be excessively bright, potentially reducing visibility for oncoming drivers and raising crash risk, ‌the ​U.S. National ⁠Highway Traffic Safety ⁠Administration said on Tuesday.

Here are further details:

• The recall affects certain Model ​3 and Model Y vehicles, NHTSA ⁠said.

• A ⁠remedy is yet to ​be finalized, according to ​the auto safety regulator.

• The ‌recall comes as Tesla faces continuing regulatory scrutiny over vehicle ⁠safety.

• In July, NHTSA said it had opened a preliminary ⁠investigation ‌into about 1.2 ⁠million Tesla vehicles ​over ‌reports of suspension ​failures that ⁠could lead to a loss of steering control.
