In a statement, the NHTSA said 999 VF8 vehicles suffered a software error in the dashboard display which prevented critical safety information from being shown.The recall statement comes less than two weeks after VinFast announced it would list in the United States via a merger with special purpose acquisition company Black Spade Acquisition Co, with the new entity having an equity value of $23 billion .
In February, VinFast recalled 2,781 VF8 cars sold in the domestic market to check and replace the bolt connecting the front brake caliper to the knuckle. VinFast, which was founded in 2017 and began selling EVs in California this year, has shipped two batches of VF8 cars to the United States totaling 2,097 units.VinFast confirmed the latest issue and said it "would recall VF 8 units due to MHU display issue," referring to the media head unit.In documents filed with the NHTSA, VinFast said it first became aware of the issue on April 27 while reading customer comments and concerns.
Last month, VinFast said it had received a fresh round of funding pledges worth $2.5 billion from parent Vingroup JSC, Vietnam's biggest conglomerate, and founder Pham Nhat Vuong, Vietnam's first billionaire and richest man.

Veteran Mediacorp actress Zoe Tay turned 55 in January this year, which makes her eligible to make a withdrawal – not that she needs the cash, one presumes.
