Known Recall Investigations
  • Recall 23v838 remedy effectiveness investigation # RQ24009

    The office of defects investigation (odi) is opening a recall query to assess the remedy adequacy of recall 23v838. On december 12, 2023, tesla filed a defect information report (recall 23v838) applicable to all tesla models produced and equipped with any version of its autopilot system, which tesla described as an sae level 2 (l2) advanced driver assistance system (adas). Autopilot is the simultaneous engagement of tesla’s traffic-aware cruise control (tacc) and autosteer. In describing the safety defect, tesla’s defect information report (dir) explained that “the prominence and scope of the system’s controls may be insufficient to prevent driver misuse,” and tesla committed to the deployment of a multipart remedy aimed at improving system and engagement controls and reducing mode confusion. Ea22002 (upgraded from pe21020) was opened to investigate whether tesla’s autopilot contained a defect that created an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety and involved extensive crash analysis, human factors analysis, vehicle evaluations, and assessment of vehicle control authority and driver engagement technologies. The work conducted in these investigations aligns with tesla’s conclusion in its 23v838 recall filing. During ea22002, odi identified at least 13 crashes involving one or more fatalities and many more involving serious injuries in which foreseeable driver misuse of the system played an apparent role. Tesla filed recall 23v838 to address concerns regarding the autopilot system investigated in ea22002. Following deployment of the remedy in recall 23v838, odi identified concerns due to post-remedy crash events and results from preliminary nhtsa tests of remedied vehicles. Also, tesla has stated that a portion of the remedy both requires the owner to opt in and allows a driver to readily reverse it. Tesla has also deployed non-remedy updates to address issues that appear related to odi’s concerns under ea22002. This investigation will consider why these updates were not a part of the recall or otherwise determined to remedy a defect that poses an unreasonable safety risk. Odi is therefore opening this recall query investigation to further evaluate the adequacy of the remedy for recall 23v838.

  • Sudden unintended acceleration investigation # DP23002

    The office of defects investigation (odi) received a petition requesting that odi reevaluate its decision to deny dp20-001 on the basis that intermittent high electrical current demands on the vehicles 12vdc systems may have caused some or all of the incidents examined by odi in dp20-001. The petitioner bases this information on a review of open-source research and the dp20-001 denial. The petition and related materials can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under the following odi number: 11528471.

  • Shift interlock request investigation # DP23001

    On march 27, 2023, the office of defects investigation (odi) received a defect petition that requested a recall of all tesla vehicles model year (my) 2013 to present to add an interlock that requires a brake application by the driver in order to shift from drive to reverse to reduce the number of sudden unintended acceleration events. Along with his request, the petitioner provided a technical paper regarding the claims in the petition. Odi will evaluate the petitioners allegations and assess potentially related field data to determine if the petition should be granted or denied. If the petition is granted, odi will open a defect investigation. If the petition is denied, odi will publish a denial notice in the federal register. The petition and its supporting paper can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under the following odi number: 11515119.

  • Pedestrian alert sounds investigation # DP22005

    Nhtsa received a petition on or about july 18, 2022, requesting that federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the united states. The petition can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under odi number 11486072.Fmvss 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after march 1, 2021.The petitioner asserts that hybrid and electric vehicles to which the standard does not apply should be found to contain a safety defect. In support of the petition, the petitioner includes findings contained in a bill introduced in the house of representatives in 2009, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2009, h.R. 734, 111th cong. (2009). A related bill, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2010, became law in january 2011 (pub. L. 111-373). The petitioner requests that nhtsa require all electric and hybrid vehicles comply with fmvss 141, regardless of production date.The defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition.The associated product list is not exhaustive and may contain vehicles that are equipped with pedestrian alert sounds.

  • Autopilot & first responder scenes investigation # EA22002

    On august 13, 2021, nhtsa?S office of defects investigation (odi) opened a preliminary evaluation (pe21-020) to assess the performance of tesla?S autopilot system (a system characterized by tesla as an sae level 2 driving automation system designed to support and assist the driver in performing the driving task) available in tesla vehicles. The investigation opening was motivated by an accumulation of crashes in which tesla vehicles, operating with autopilot engaged, struck stationary in-road or roadside first responder vehicles tending to pre-existing collision scenes. Upon opening the investigation, nhtsa indicated that the pe would also evaluate additional similar circumstance crashes of tesla vehicles operating with autopilot engaged, as well as assess the technologies and methods used to monitor, assist, and enforce the driver?S engagement with the dynamic driving task during autopilot operation.Pe21-020 is upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea) to extend the existing crash analysis, evaluate additional data sets, perform vehicle evaluations, and to explore the degree to which autopilot and associated tesla systems may exacerbate human factors or behavioral safety risks by undermining the effectiveness of the driver?S supervision. In doing so, nhtsa plans to continue its assessment of vehicle control authority, driver engagement technologies, and related human factors considerations.The attached detailed summary further describes nhtsa?S review to date and the basis for upgrade to an ea.

  • Autopilot system driver controls investigation # EA22002

    The office of defects investigation (odi) upgraded pe21020 to ea22002 on june 8, 2022, to extend work and deepen the pe21020 crash analysis, to supplement that analysis with additional data, and to perform vehicle evaluations to understand how tesla’s autopilot system may exacerbate human factors or behavioral safety risks by undermining the effectiveness of the driver’s supervision. To support this work, odi collected additional crash information and assessed vehicle control authority, driver engagement technologies, and related human factors considerations associated with partial automation via analysis of peer vehicle data and hands-on vehicle evaluation, assessments from nhtsa human factors subject matter experts, and reviews of related publications dedicated to partial driving automation. Autopilot is the simultaneous use of the features that tesla calls traffic-aware cruise control (tacc) and autosteer. Tacc is a type of adaptive cruise control that, like traditional cruise control, maintains a set speed but also slows or accelerates as necessary to maintain the vehicle’s following distance from a vehicle in front. As designed, autosteer detects lane markings and the presence of other nearby vehicles and objects to keep the vehicle in its driving lane. Autopilot is characterized by tesla as an sae level 2 (“l2 system”) partial driving automation system that provides driver assistance through steering, propulsion, and braking within a specified driving environment under direct supervision of the driver. L2 systems should be designed to support the driver’s need to monitor the system in response to the constantly changing driving environment and, if necessary, take over the dynamic driving task. To ensure sufficient driver engagement, vehicles with l2 systems should employ driver engagement systems and usage controls that are appropriate and sufficient for the l2 system design and driver expectations. Odi completed an analysis of 956 crashes reported up to august 30, 2023. In approximately half (489) of those crashes, odi found: 1.) that there was insufficient data to make an assessment; 2.) the other vehicle was at fault; 3.) autopilot was found to not be in use; or 4.) the crash was otherwise unrelated to ea22002. Of the remaining 467 crashes, odi identified trends resulting in three categories: collisions in which the frontal plane of the tesla struck another vehicle or obstacle with adequate time for an attentive driver to respond to avoid or mitigate the crash (211), roadway departures where autosteerwas inadvertently disengaged by the driver’s inputs (111), and roadway departures in low traction conditions such as wet roadways (145). Odi observed this pattern across all tesla models and hardware versions. Crash and human factors assessment showed that autopilot controls did not sufficiently ensure driver attention and appropriate use. At the same time, peer analysis and vehicle evaluations established that autopilot invited greater driver confidence via its higher control authority and ease of engagement. This mismatch of weak usage controls and high control authority was evident in these crash categories, which included indications of driver disengagement from the driving task. This mismatch was also evident in roadway departures when the system was engaged in low traction conditions outside of tesla’s recommendations.Additional information regarding nhtsa’s crash analysis is available in the ea22002 file. Odi reviewed these findings with tesla during several conversations in quarter 4 of 2023. On december 12, 2023, tesla filed a defect information report (dir) (recall 23v838) applicable to all tesla models produced and equipped with any version of its autopilot system. Tesla’s dir described the functionality of this system, stated that the prominence and scope of the system’s controls may be insufficient to prevent driver misuse, and described a remedy to improve the effectiveness of driver warnings and to reduce mode confusion. Odi completed an extensive body of work via pe21020 and ea22002, which showed evidence that tesla’s weak driver engagement system was not appropriate for autopilot’s permissive operating capabilities. This mismatch resulted in a critical safety gap between drivers’ expectations of the l2 system’s operating capabilities and the system’s true capabilities. This gap led to foreseeable misuse and avoidable crashes. During ea220002, odi identified at least 13 crashes involving one or more fatalities and many more involving serious injuries, in which foreseeable driver misuse of the system played an apparent role. Odi’s analysis conducted during this investigation, which aligns with tesla’s conclusion in its defect information report, indicated that in certain circumstances, autopilot’s system controls and warnings were insufficient for a driver assistance system that requires constant supervision by a human driver. Given tesla’s recall (23v838) of all vehicles equipped with autopilot for insufficient controls to prevent misuse, odi is closing ea22002. Concurrent with that closing, odi has opened a recall query (rq24009) to assess the effectiveness of the 23v838 remedy. To review the odi reports cited in the closing resume odi report identification number document, go to nhtsa.Gov.

  • Tesla "passenger play" investigation # PE21023

    The office of defects investigation (odi) is opening a preliminary evaluation (pe) on certain model year (my) 2017 - 2022 model 3, s, x, and y vehicles based on reports that tesla gameplay functionality, which is visible on the front center touchscreen from the drivers seat, is enabled even when the vehicle is being driven. This functionality, referred to as ?Passenger play,? May distract the driver and increase the risk of a crash.Odi has received one vehicle owner questionnaire (voq) describing the gameplay functionality and has confirmed that this capability has been available since december 2020 in tesla "passenger play"-equipped vehicles. Prior to this time, gameplay was enabled only when the vehicle was in park.This pe has been opened to evaluate the driver distraction potential of tesla "passenger play" while the vehicle is being driven. Through this pe, odi will evaluate aspects of the feature, including the frequency and use scenarios of tesla "passenger play."the odi report cited above can be reviewed at: http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid using the following complaint identification number: 11439598

  • Tesla passenger play investigation # PE21023

    The office of defects investigation (odi) opened preliminary evaluation (pe21-023) on december 21, 2021, to evaluate the driver distraction potential and use frequency / circumstances of in-vehicle game-play functionality referred to as ?Passenger play? In certain model year (my) 2017-2022 tesla model 3, s, x, and y vehicles. Distracted driving can result in an increased risk of a crash. Pe21-023 was prompted by the receipt of vehicle owners questionnaire (voq) 11439598 from the owner of a 2021 model 3 on november 6, 2021. Odi sent an information request (ir) letter to tesla on january 20, 2022 and received tesla?S response on march 4, 2022.On december 24, 2020, tesla introduced passenger play to vehicles equipped with the intel atom processor (receiving an aftersale software update) via its 2020 holiday release. Passenger play permitted occupants to play specific games selected by tesla for primarily turn-based play style and limited gameplay motion with the transmission in drive and the vehicle in motion. Under these conditions, a notification would display on the screen and the screen area devoted to the game would reduce from 100% to accommodate vehicle controls and driving task data readout. Specific changes varied among models. On december 21, 2022, tesla voluntarily disabled passenger play capability with firmware release 2021.44.25.1 in response to nhtsa?S request. Tesla reported a month later that a 97% completion rate was achieved though tesla?S over the air (ota) update. Odi opened pe 21-023 to evaluate the driver distraction potential of tesla passenger play while the vehicle is being driven including aspects of the feature, frequency, and use scenarios.Based on the analysis conducted, pe21-023 has been closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists. Furthermore, it does not foreclose the agency from taking further action, if warranted, or the potential for a future finding that a safety-related defect exists through additional information the agency may receive.See attached closing report for a detailed summary of the investigation findings.

Light sources such as tail lights of other vehicles, traffic lights, and lit signs, all have an artifact effect - view of the light source has a double that exists right above the original source with a slightly dimmer brightness when viewed through the windshield. This is not an effect caused by poor eyesight, things look normal when viewed directly through an open window. The effect can be reproduced at any time, but it is most noticeable at night when the view of the artifact is in high contrast to dark backgrounds. This effect is most noticeable on led light sources, such as led tail lights. This effect is produced regardless of the state of the vehicle - occurs when the vehicle is stationary or in motion. This is a safety concern as double vision - seeing artifacts on light sources through the windshield can cause excessive strain on drivers' eyes, and can be an unwelcome distraction to the driver. This can also potentially cause confusion in the driver where the location of a lit object may be misjudged by the driver who sees artifacts on those light sources.

Car parked on the street found out next day that the car was backed into. Sentry mode didn't work. Car alarm didn't go off no notification on my app. Tesla should be held responsible for damages because it was the programs that didn't work properly
