Tesla issued a recall of more than 321,000 vehicles because the taillights may not light. Y models from 2020-2023 are eligible for recall but only sample 3 2023 vehicles manufactured between October 19 and November 5, 2022 may be affected. Tesla estimates that less than 1% of vehicles on US roads are at fault. Interestingly, Tesla said it “observes customer complaints mainly from overseas markets.”
According to the document posted on National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website, “In rare cases, the taillights on one or both sides of the affected vehicle may light intermittently due to a firmware abnormality. This may cause false detection in the vehicle. wake-up process. Brake lights, backup lights and turn signals are not affected by this condition and continue to function as designed.”
Naturally, unlit taillights at night can reduce visibility for both Tesla drivers and other drivers on the road. As often happens with Tesla recalls, an over-the-air update fixes the problem, which means owners don’t need to take their vehicle to a physical location for service. Tesla says vehicles manufactured starting November 6, 2022 already have the latest firmware to fix the problem.
