Faraday Future survives long enough to issue its first recall


The troubled startup has an issue with its airbag warning light, a quaint problem amid nearly $4 billion in losses.

Troubled EV startup Faraday Future has issued its first recall, covering all 11 vehicles it built last year, as it fights to hold onto its Los Angeles headquarters. The company apparently discovered that an error in the car’s software could prevent the warning light from turning on if there is a problem with the airbags. Faraday has furloughed or cut the salaries of many of its remaining employees — cost-saving measures it recently extended through mid-to-late March, according to emails viewed by TechCrunch.
