FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
- The defect
- Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Model 3 and 2021 Model Y vehicles. The fisheye and narrow camera cable terminals were incorrectly installed in the cable harness connector, resulting in swapped camera views.
- What it can cause
- Swapped camera views can prevent the vehicle's cameras from detecting crossing objects and high-curvature lane lines, impairing the Autosteer and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) performance, and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Tesla Service will correct the swapped terminals and recalibrate the cameras, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 8, 2022. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-22-17-007.
- 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.
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 7 vehicles this is a small campaign: 94% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Tesla vehicles have been recalled over the forward collision avoidance once before this, most recently in October 2021 as 21V846000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,719 complaints with NHTSA, 702 of them before this campaign was filed. 979 of those name the forward collision avoidance, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2020, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 25 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V507000 (exterior lighting), 26V283000 (back over prevention), 24V935000 (tires), 24V554000 (latches/locks/linkages).
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 May 9, 2022 as campaign 22V317000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
