VinFast has its first recall. The Vietnamese automaker has recalled about 1,000 copies of its VF 8 SUV in the United States because the display screens can go blank. Most are still with the manufacturer, but VinFast says, “111 are in customer hands, and 153 are in fleet service.”

So if you’ve bought one of the first 2023 VinFast VF 8 models or a fleet of 153, listen up.

The vehicle’s display screen, VinFast says, can go black while driving or sitting. The VF 8 has just a single display screen in the center of the dash. There’s not even a gauge cluster in front of the driver. So losing the screen means losing everything, from the backup camera to the speedometer to warning messages about any mechanical problems with the car.

VinFast says shutting the car off and turning it back on again brings the screen back.

The company can fix the issue permanently with an over-the-air software update. So owners don’t need to bring in the car for repair.
