This page covers 3 recalls and 16 owner complaints for the 2024 VinFast Vf 8.
Complaints on the 2024 VinFast VF 8 center on two main areas: lane departure and driver assistance systems, and the electric powertrain. On the driver assistance side, owners frequently report forward collision warning misfiring, safety features randomly shutting off and resetting, and steering wheel position malfunctioning in ways that interfere with driving. The powertrain complaints describe sudden drivetrain fault warnings appearing on the display, followed by the vehicle jerking and losing power entirely. A few owners also report unintended acceleration events where the vehicle continued moving despite the brake being depressed. Separately, some owners describe the high-voltage and 12-volt electrical systems faulting simultaneously, causing the vehicle to shift into neutral unexpectedly while in motion.

By System
The 2024 VinFast VF 8 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a driver assistance system that can activate unexpectedly during wide turns, grabbing the steering wheel in ways that are difficult to counteract and raising the risk of a crash.
Two separate airbag concerns make up the rest of the recall list. The center airbag mounted in the driver's seat can deploy at the wrong angle during a side impact, striking the driver's arm rather than cushioning them. Separately, some vehicles may have been built with inactive ignitors inside the airbags, meaning the bags may not deploy at all in a crash, removing a key layer of protection when it matters most.
