DEFECT #1 - SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
Posted on: 2017-10-13
Description
Tesla, inc. (tesla) is recalling certain 2016-2017 model x vehicles. The left-side, second row, reclining seat backs may not fully latch due to having incorrectly adjusted recliner mechanism cables. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 207, seating systems, and 210, seat belt assembly anchorages.
Consequence
If the seat back moves forward in the event of a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.
Corrective Action
Tesla will notify owners, and tesla service technicians will correct the cable adjustment for the left-side, fold-flat, second row, seat recliner mechanism, free of charge. The recall began on november 10, 2017. Owners may contact tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is sb-17-13-004.
Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
DEFECT #2 - EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
Posted on: 2021-02-01
Description
Tesla, inc. (tesla) is recalling certain 2012-2018 tesla model s and 2016-2018 model x vehicles with a center display equipped with a nvidia tegra 3 processor and an 8gb emmc nand flash memory device. When the 8gb emmc nand flash memory device for the center display reaches lifetime wear, the emmc controller will no longer be able to maintain the integrity of the filesystem, causing a failure in some of the center display functions.
Consequence
The emmc controller wear-out condition can cause the loss of the rearview camera display, defrost/defog control settings, and exterior turn signal lighting, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Owners should ensure their vehicles are operating firmware release 2020.48.48.12 or newer, which will alert owners if the emmc is approaching lifetime wear. Tesla will notify owners, and will replace the vcm daughterboard with one containing an enhanced emmc controller, free of charge. The recall began march 29, 2021. Owners may contact tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is sb-21-21-001.

DEFECT #5 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:AUTONOMOUS/SELF DRIVING:SOFTWARE
Posted on: 2022-01-28
Description
Tesla, inc. (tesla) is recalling certain 2016-2022 model s and model x, 2017-2022 model 3, and 2020-2022 model y vehicles. The rolling stop functionality available as part of the full self-driving (beta) software may allow the vehicle to travel through an all-way stop intersection without first coming to a stop.
Consequence
Failing to stop at a stop sign can increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Tesla will perform an over-the-air (ota) software update that disables the rolling stop functionality, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed march 28, 2022. Owners may contact tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is sb-22-00-001.

DEFECT #6 - STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
Posted on: 2022-11-02
Description
Tesla, inc. (tesla) is recalling certain 2017-2021 model s and model x vehicles. The electronic power assist steering (epas) system may experience a loss of power steering assist when driving on rough roads or after hitting a pothole.
Consequence
A loss of power steering assist can require greater steering effort, especially at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Tesla has released an over-the-air (ota) software update to recalibrate the epas system, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed december 31, 2022. Owners may contact tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is sb-22-00-014.

DEFECT #7 - STEERING:AUTOMATED/ADAPTIVE STEERING
Posted on: 2023-02-16
Description
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.
Consequence
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.
Corrective Action
Tesla will release an over-the-air (ota) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by 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.
