Almost 363,000 Teslas in the US are facing a recall notice. Tesla is recalling certain 2016-2023 Model S, Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving Beta (FSD Beta) software or pending installation.
In a recall notice, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has notified that Tesla has agreed to “recall” all 362,758 vehicles equipped with FSD Beta in the US over what it believes is a serious risk that it “may cause crashes.”
In its recall summary, the NHTSA said: “The FSD Beta system may allow the vehicle to act unsafe around intersections, such as traveling [sic] straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution.
“In addition, the system may respond insufficiently to changes in posted speed limits or not adequately account for the driver’s adjustment of the vehicle’s speed to exceed posted speed limits.”
Owners should be notified in writing by 15 April. Affected cars include the Model S and Model X (2016-2023), Model 3 (2017-2023) and Model Y (2020-2023) with FSD Beta already fitted or with installation pending.
In addition, Tesla has said that it’s not aware of any deaths or injuries relating to the problem, although it is the subject of 18 warranty claims.
