Today we are going to share with you a surprising update about the recalls of 1.09 million tesla vehicles for that failure to meet the safety standards. An American multinational automotive and clean energy company Tesla has decided to recall 1,096,762 units of the 2017-2022 Model 3, 2021-2022 Model S, 2021-2022 Model X, and 2020-2022 Model Y.
Vehicles Don’t Meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Requirements:
according to media reports, these vehicles don’t meet US Federal Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) requirements because the power windows may not operate as intended and may pinch an occupant if any portion of that person’s body comes in the way.
Between August 19 and 23, 2022, Tesla conducted production testing and discovered the issue. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, engineers observed greater than expected deviations in pinch detection response in the power windows’ automatic reversing system. After founding the issue, Tesla engineers officially began testing the issue in September 2022 and began checking several models. During testing, it has found that pinch detection and retraction performance did not meet FMVSS safety standards. However, the issue has not linked to any reports of injuries.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk Statement:
According to the media report, the problem will fixed by an over-the-air upgrade for Tesla models. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has said that a software update should not referred to as a “recall.” However, the relevant government agency has indicated that it is a recall. To make Windows work correctly, it was only necessary to modify the firmware. Tesla is sending an over-the-air update to fix affected models already on the road. The new vehicles will be equipped with the software upgrade starting from September 13.
Tesla Was Subject to Several Recalls this Year:
It is important to note that Tesla has been subject to several recalls this year. The company had to fix 130,000 units of the Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Model Y in May because the infotainment system’s processor could overheat during rapid charging, which could cause the display to slow or go blank. The issue was resolved via an over-the-air update.
The company also recalled 48,184 Model 3 Performance vehicles in May as a result of the possibility that the speedometer gave an inaccurate reading while the vehicle was in track mode. A software update resolved the issue.
