Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2013, 2018-2021 Model S, 2020-2021 Model X, 2018-2022 Model 3, and 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles. A factory reset muted the Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) sounds. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles."
Risk if Unfixed
Pedestrians may be unaware of an approaching vehicle if the PWS sounds are muted, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Tesla released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, release 2023.44.30.14, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 27, 2024. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-24-00-006.
Your vehicle's Autosteer and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system relies on cameras to detect objects and lane lines. Unfortunately, the cables connecting these cameras were installed incorrectly, which can cause the cameras to show the wrong view.
Risk if Unfixed
If this isn't fixed, your vehicle's cameras might not detect crossing objects or lane lines correctly. This could lead to a higher risk of a crash, especially when driving on curvy roads or in heavy traffic.
Free Fix
Tesla will fix the issue for free by swapping the camera cable terminals and recalibrating the cameras. You'll receive a notification letter, but you can also contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 if you have any questions or concerns, and the recall ID is SB-22-17-007.
