This picture taken on October 5, 2023 shows a driver charging a VinFast electric car at a charging station in Hanoi. Vietnam’s leading electric car manufacturer VinFast has recalled almost 6,000 vehicles after a fault in their indicator system was discovered, the government has confirmed, in a fresh blow to the firm.
But VinFast has struggled to convince international drivers its EVs are reliable and high-quality, and earlier this year reported a $2 billion loss for 2023 after missing sales targets. Tests found a problem with the headlights and indicator when the lights were used in auto mode, “causing danger to the driver and other vehicles on the road”, the statement said.
