| Description |
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2017-2022 Model 3, 2020-2022 Model Y, and 2021-2022 Model S and Model X vehicles. The window automatic reversal system may not react correctly after detecting an obstruction. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems." |
| Consequences |
A closing window may exert excessive force by pinching a driver or passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury. |
| Corrective action |
Tesla will perform an over-the-air (OTA) software update of the automatic window reversal system, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters, informing owners of the safety risk, were mailed November 18, 2022. A second notice will be sent one the remedy has been developed. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-22-00-013. |
| 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.nhtsa.gov. |
