U.S. regulator terms Tesla wall adaptor, software upgrade a recall

U.S. safety regulators on Tuesday classified as a recall Tesla Motors Inc's move to provide upgraded wall adaptors and charging software, citing the risk of fire. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tesla is recalling 29,222 Model S electric sedans from model year 2013 for the fix, according to documents filed online. Last week's announcement by Tesla came after a November garage fire involving a Model S in Irvine, California, which the Orange County Fire Authority said may have been caused by a Tesla charging system or by a connection at the electricity panel on the wall of the garage.
