Tesla Recalls 'Full Self-Driving' Because Vehicles Can Roll Through Stop Signs
A software update will disable the 'rolling stop' feature
Tesla is recalling 53,822 Model S, Model X, Model Y, and Model 3 vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta software because they can be configured to roll through a stop sign without first coming to a full stop.
The Details
Vehicles Recalled
• 2016-2022 Tesla Model S sedans and Model X SUVs
• 2017-2022 Tesla Model 3 sedans
• 2020-2022 Tesla Model Y SUVs
Only vehicles with firmware version 2020.40.4.10 are included in the recall.
The problem: Tesla vehicles equipped with FSD beta software are able to proceed through stop signs without stopping.
The fix: An updated firmware version, 2021.44.30.15, will remove rolling stop functionality. Tesla will send it directly to owners’ vehicles as part of an over-the-air update in early February. Owners will also be notified of the change by mail by March 28, 2022.
How to contact the manufacturer: Owners may contact Tesla at 877-798-3752.
NHTSA campaign number: 22V037. Tesla’s own number for this recall is SB-22-00-001.
Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.
If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have one. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly.
