- The defect
- 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.
- What it can cause
- Failing to stop at a stop sign can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner. This one is fixed by a software update rather than a workshop visit.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 53,822 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 89% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Tesla vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system once before this, most recently in October 2010 as 10V458000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 23 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 8,663 complaints with NHTSA, 2,134 of them before this campaign was filed. 1,344 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2016, 5 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 49 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V507000 (exterior lighting), 26V283000 (back over prevention), 25V172000 (air bags), 24V967000 (air bags).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Tesla, Inc. with NHTSA on January 27, 2022 as campaign 22V037000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
