Free Fix
Tesla will check and adjust the latch assembly for you, free of charge. Schedule an appointment with a Tesla Service center as soon as you get the recall notice.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
Manufacturer
Tesla, Inc.
What Happened

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.

If the AEB system activates unexpectedly, your car could slam on the brakes suddenly, which could lead to a crash, especially at high speeds.
Free Fix
Tesla will send an update to your vehicle's software, free of charge, to fix this issue. You don't need to visit a dealership; the update will be installed remotely. Look out for notification from Tesla, and if you have any questions, you can contact their customer service at 1-877-798-3752.
