Zoox recalled 332 robotaxis over unnecessary lane-crossings near intersections

In December 2025, Zoox issued a software recall covering 332 robotaxis after identifying 62 cases (between August 26 and December 5, 2025) where vehicles crossed lane markings unnecessarily near intersections; some partial, some fully into opposing lanes. The issue was first detected in late August after a robotaxi made a wide right turn and paused partially in the opposing lane in front of oncoming traffic.

No collisions were associated with the issue, but Zoox told NHTSA it could increase crash risk. This was Zoox's third software recall in 2025 (after the March braking and May Las Vegas recalls), totaling nearly 900 vehicles across the three.
