What This Recall Means

Component

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

What Happened
Your vehicle's forward collision avoidance system relies on a camera to detect potential hazards on the road. In some 2017-2021 Model S, Model 3, Model X, and 2020-2021 Model Y vehicles with software version 2021.36.5.2, a problem with the camera's communication could cause false warnings or unwanted braking.
Risk if Unfixed
If the AEB system activates unexpectedly, your car could slam on the brakes suddenly, which could lead to a crash, especially at high speeds.

How to Get This Fixed

Is YOUR vehicle affected?

This page lists the models and model years named in NHTSA campaign #21V846000. Matching a model and year on this list does not prove an individual vehicle is affected — some vehicles in an affected model year are never part of the recall population. The authoritative way to know is a VIN check against NHTSA's own records.
