What's wrong?
The Advanced Driver Assistance System on 2023-2025 Vinfast Vf 8 vehicles uses camera information to read lane markings, road edges, traffic signs, and nearby road users. Lane Keeping Assist uses that information to add steering torque that helps keep the vehicle positioned in its lane. The driver still controls the wheel, and the system is supposed to assist without making abrupt steering inputs.
On affected Vf 8 vehicles, the software calibration for ADAS steering torque is tuned incorrectly. During wide turns, the lane keeping system can hug the inside line and activate when the driver does not expect it. The result is unexpected steering wheel movement that is difficult for the driver to override.
Owners have a display warning tied to the system action. Each ADAS intervention is accompanied by a warning telltale on the Main Display Unit, so a steering tug during a wide turn with that warning is the sign tied to this condition.

What's the safety risk?
Unexpected steering-wheel movement creates a higher crash risk because the vehicle can change direction in a way the driver did not intend. The warning telltale on the Main Display Unit appears with each ADAS intervention. If you see it, keep both hands on the wheel and schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Vinfast dealer.
