Tesla is recalling 362,758 of its vehicles – nearly every EV equipped with Full Self-Driving Beta, its driver assistance system – according to a recall notice put out on Thursday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The NHTSA notice specifically claims that the Full Self-Driving software, a beta feature that costs Tesla owners an extra $15,000 on top of the cost of the vehicle, "allows a vehicle to exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner increases the risk of a crash." The notice goes on to provide examples of unsafe behavior such as the vehicle traveling straight in a turn-only lane, proceeding through a yellow light without due caution, and approaching a stop-sign without coming to a complete stop.
In addition, the Full Self-Driving system "may respond insufficiently to changes in posted speed limits" and does not "adequately account for the driver's adjustment of the vehicle's speed to exceed posted speed limits."
The recall affects a slew of Tesla vehicles with Full Self-Driving Beta including 2016 through 2023 Model S and Model X cars, and 2017 through 2023 Model 3 cars. 2020 through 2023 Model Y vehicles with Full Self-Driving are also affected.
While Tesla issued the recall voluntarily out of "an abundance of caution," CEO Elon Musk was not happy with how the news was being reported.
"The word 'recall' for an over-the-air software update is anachronistic and just flat wrong!" Musk posted in a reply on Twitter.
However, it should be noted that the document filed by Tesla to issue the recall is called "Safety Recall Report" and the NHTSA issued the notice as a recall.
This move comes just days after a TV ad demanding the NHTSA take action regarding safety concerns with Tesla's Full Self-Driving air in major U.S. metropolitan areas during the Super Bowl. However, we should note that according to documents, Tesla officially made the decision to issue the recall on Feb. 7.
As a result of the recall, Tesla will be issuing a free over-the-air (OTA) software update to the affected Tesla vehicles. Owners will received notification letters, which will be mailed by April 15.
Tesla's autopilot is not part of the recall, however, according to previous reports, the NHTSA has been investigating the issue with that system as well. The U.S. Justice Department is also probing Tesla over safety concerns and claims from the company regarding its autopilot system and Full Self-Driving feature as well.
More in Electric Vehicles, Tesla, Elon Musk

I think that it was funny there was a commercial during the Super Bowl from some safety organization about education on self-driving vehicles and immediately Tesla does a recall
ReplyDeleteDems attack in unison, always
DeleteIt reminds me of the movie "Upload" on Netflix which was based on a self-driving car that failed and killed a guy
DeleteI have heard Elon and Kimball talk about some of the secret Tesla features and I am curious how to activate them. Obviously it is top secret and only certain people know how to make a Tesla car dance and do other weird autonomous things I'm curious if anybody has tried it or if there are any videos of people making their Tesla do weird things because I know how programmers are and they will put little quirky things into the code for fun
Deletehttps://youtu.be/-jyPkg0yXzM
DeleteIt was already in the works before the ad.
DeleteStrange that ICE cars get in a crash every 600,000 miles and a Tesla on autopilot has a crash every 6 million miles. Hmmm. Sounds like they need to recall more drivers.
It will be an over the air update, probably the one they have been working on for a while (version 11) and we will go on getting more and more progress, just like before.
Yeah, Tesla filled a form that includes the word Recall in the title because that's the form NHTSA requires auto companies to fill out, not because they agree with the terminology. 🙄
ReplyDeleteAnd all of Tesla's software updates - unlike any other car manufacturer I'm aware of - are free. 😁 "Tell me you don't understand without saying I don't understand."
the hate usually comes from people who have never been in one and can't afford one. Told a moron (don't need to tell you who he voted for) that I bought it because I buy American made cars. His head nearly exploded.
DeleteTesla not “agree[ing] with the terminology” means nothing, it’s a recall champ.

it’s a dangerous situation that is software driven so the fix is over the air but this doesn’t nullify the fact that musk and Tesla denied the system could harm people until they were sued and exposed 😒
Deleteoh and it is a recall since the fix is mandatory 🤭
DeleteIt’s not a recall. It’s an over-the-air update, just like your computer gets updated. Most owners won’t even be aware it was updated
ReplyDeleteThe amount of Tesla/Elon fanboys in the comments is sad. It IS a recall because a critical software has tk be updated. A software that has caused multiple deaths already. Get a grip on reality
ReplyDeleteThis was on CBS news this morning. NTSB requires the recall. Apparently the self driving mode allows the vehicle to violate traffic laws.
ReplyDeleteI suppose like everything else, Elon probably doesn’t agree with the laws so …
They have not recalled anything they just pushed an update over the network and all cars are fixed over night while parked in owners garage
ReplyDeletethat's a recall... No different than gas powered being recalled for computer issues. The only difference is that the Tesla is fixed at home garage instead of the dealership garage ITS STILL A RECALL... because something is wrong deeming it unsafe🤦
Deleteno the way online propaganda experts use the world recall is wrong,
Deletedid we ever heard some one calling iphone recall when they push an update?
DeleteiPhone doesn't weigh 4000lbs and isn't driving around on the roads with a major code issue.
Deletethe company pushed an update and fixed their software. Software that will make the roads 1000x safer in the future. Your small D energy will not stop human progress, thank god.
DeleteHUGE difference. One is actually recalling, another is updating. Do you take your PC back to a store when Microsoft/Apple updates their OS? Do you consider that a "recall"?
DeleteOMG!! APPLES AND ORANGES!!!!🤣🤣
Deleteagain.. apples and oranges!!😂
DeleteThey wouldn't have done that update if it wasn't for the recall!!
DeleteBut by definition, it's not being recalled when you can fix it over the air wherever the car is. Time to update the term.
Delete4000lb moving mass vs 50lb stationary object.
DeleteMicrosoft and Apple also don't do "recalls" until some third party finds a vulnerability. Call it all what you will. Cheers.
Deleteso they're still offering the 15k "Full Self Driving" or has that function been recalled?
DeleteFord and Chevy with their copies

Elon’s fanbois to the rescue!
ReplyDeleteboomers with guitars that think they are saving the world from evil billionaires but really fell for authoritarian oligarchy to the rescue 🛟
DeleteTesla didn’t warn us it was the U.S. regulators who forced them, they didn’t do it on their own.
ReplyDeleteSo can human in-fact up until self driving cars humans had caused a 100% of all crashes
ReplyDeleteIf not today it will be possible after few years, why people are laughing at this
ReplyDeletethey're scared the big bad politician is going to take away their 6 mile per gallon daily driven diesel truck. And that might hurt baby Jesus' feelings
DeleteOh well that is a bummer
ReplyDeleteThey should never have been allowed on the roads to begin with. Unbelievable laziness that has resulted in crashes.
ReplyDeletehow many cats are in your lap right now?
Deletezero and sorry you feel it's ok for self-driving cars to do the job of a good driver. There are many reports of crashes and problems, or is your head stuck in the "sand" too far to pay attention to that?
DeleteAnother article that either doesn’t understand what’s actually happening or is just putting out click bait
ReplyDeleteAnd what they don't tell you is 98% of the vehicle owners won't even have to go to the dealership. They'll simply get a software update. But since we're on the subject of recalls how's that Takata airbag thing going?
ReplyDeleteIt’s just an over-the-air update. Costing the company 0$. Such dumb headline 🤦🏻♂️
ReplyDeleteCan't believe they are still afloat after they faked the self driving video.
ReplyDeletehttps://techcrunch.com/.../tesla-engineer-testifies-that.../
In much less important news (to the media) Ford Stops selling EV’s until further notice. Physical Recall of all EV’s sold to date pending?
ReplyDeleteAnd it's STILL safer than the human idiots on the road that have drivers licenses.
ReplyDeleteSo? Hating much?
ReplyDeleteAi at its best
ReplyDeleteThey're a little late! How many have died?
ReplyDeletedon't believe you.
Deleteyou believe only what the mainstream media tells you, DUDE
Delete10
Delete🤡💩🤡💩
DeleteCertainly should be recalling the extra 15k for "Full Self-Driving" seems the company is Full Self Owning itself often these days.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how all the grumpy conservatives LOVE Elon but HATE electric cars. They also hate taxes, and that's how Elon is making the bulk of his profit: carbon credit swaps.
ReplyDeletethe grumpy people are slowly destroying Britain
Deleteseems that way, yes.
Deleteoops
ReplyDeletenot actually a recall.
Deleteyou’re going to defend him until the end huh
Deleteunlike most folks, I still think facts are important.
DeleteGood, now idiots won't sleep
ReplyDeleteTheir cars are crap 💩
