STEERING Safety Recalls

Critical #23V085000 Plain English
Component

STEERING:AUTOMATED/ADAPTIVE STEERING

Manufacturer
Tesla, Inc.
What Happened
Your vehicle's automated steering system is like a smart co-pilot that helps with navigation. The Full Self-Driving Beta software in your car might not always follow traffic rules, like stopping at stop signs or red lights, and could even drive into intersections when it shouldn't.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, you could be involved in a crash because the vehicle is not following traffic laws and signs. This could put you, your passengers, and other drivers at risk.
Free Fix
Tesla will send a free software update to your vehicle, which will improve its navigation and help it follow traffic rules. This update will be installed remotely, and you should schedule a visit with your Tesla service team as soon as you get the recall notice.
Show original NHTSA language
Original — What Happened
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2016-2023 Model S, Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving Beta (FSD Beta) software or pending installation.  The FSD Beta system may allow the vehicle to act unsafe around intersections, such as traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution. In addition, the system may respond insufficiently to changes in posted speed limits or not adequately account for the driver's adjustment of the vehicle's speed to exceed posted speed limits.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
FSD Beta software that allows a vehicle to exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner increases the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Tesla will release an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed April 15, 2023.  Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752.  Tesla's number for this recall is SB-23-00-001.

Critical #22V818000 Plain English

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM

Manufacturer
Tesla, Inc.
What Happened
The electric power assist steering system in your Model S or Model X helps make steering easier when driving. It's a computer-controlled system that makes it simpler to turn the wheels.
Risk if Unfixed
If the system fails, you may need to use more force to steer, especially at slow speeds. This could make it harder to control your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash, especially in tight spaces or on uneven roads.
Free Fix
Tesla will send an automatic software update to your vehicle, which will recalibrate the steering system. This update is free, and you don't need to visit a dealership – it'll happen remotely. You should check your email for the update and follow the instructions.
