Faraday Future survives long enough to issue its first

Troubled EV startup Faraday Future has issued its first recall, covering all 11 vehicles it built last year, as it struggles to maintain its Los Angeles headquarters. The recall revolves around a problem with the airbag warning light on the Faraday Future FF91 SUV. The company apparently discovered that an error in the car's software could prevent the warning light from coming on if there was a problem with the airbags. Faraday Future says it will “schedule pickup and drop-off of owners’ vehicles” through the concierge to fix the software. So far, the first clients have been celebrities like Selling Sunset's Jason Oppenheim and (yes, seriously) singer Chris Brown. The recall comes at a time when Faraday appears to be very low on cash. The landlord of its Los Angeles headquarters is trying to evict the startup after Faraday missed several rent payments. (A hearing is scheduled for early April.) Faraday laid off or cut the salaries of many of his remaining employees — cost-cutting measures that were recently extended through mid-March, according to emails seen by TechCrunch.
