VinFast recalling cars after regulators raise concerns
Things are going from bad to worse for VinFast, the Vietnamese startup that wants to build an electric vehicle plant in Chatham County.
VinFast recently delivered its first batch of vehicles to the U.S. And so far the reviews are terrible.
Now, VinFast is recalling all 999 VF 8 City Editions after U.S. regulators raised concerns. A software error in the dashboard display prevents critical safety information from being shown and "may increase the risk of a crash.”
Luckily, most of the vehicles have yet to be delivered to their new owners.
Earlier this year, VinFast pushed back the launch date for its Chatham facility by one year as it tries to secure financing for the massive endeavor.
VinFast is hitting speed bumps as it tries to expand in North America.

Chatham and Lee are part of the new economic geography of North Carolina, the 120-mile corridor from the Triad to Fayetteville, the Carolina Core.
Some of the biggest projects in the state are in this corridor – Boom Supersonic in Greensboro, the Toyota battery plant in Randolph County, and the two Chatham mega-site projects – the Wolfspeed silicon carbide materials plant in Siler City and the VinFast electric vehicle plant in Moncure. These four plants alone represent around $13 billion in planned investment and 13,000 manufacturing jobs.
