Tesla Recalls 53,822 Vehicles That May Disobey Stop Signs At Intersections
Tesla recalls 53,822 vehicles in the United States that may disobey stop signs at intersections.
Its FSD Beta may allow some models not come to a complete stop at some intersections posing a safety risk.
The recall covers some 2016-2022 Model S and Model X, 2017-2022 Model 3, and 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles.
Tesla will perform an over-the-air software update that disables the “rolling stop” functionality.
Tesla is recalling 53,822 vehicles in the United States due to the its Full Self-Driving (Beta) software that may allow some models not come to a complete stop at some intersections posing a safety risk.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that the feature, also known as FSD Beta, may allow vehicles to travel through an all-way stop intersection without first coming to a stop.
The all-way stop signs, common on North American roads, require drivers to stop their vehicles completely, before proceeding.
The recall covers some 2016-2022 Model S and Model X, 2017-2022 Model 3, and 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles, according to NHTSA.
NHTSA said Tesla will perform an over-the-air software update that disables the “rolling stop” functionality. It “maintains regular discussions with all manufacturers to discuss potential safety concerns of these types of systems.”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Twitter that “there were no safety issues” with the function, adding that :
“The car simply slowed to ~2 mph & continued forward if clear view with no cars or pedestrians,” Musk wrote.
Last week, Tesla said the number of FSD beta vehicles in the United States has increased to nearly 60,000 from a few thousand at the end of September.
Tesla has been testing the improved version of its automated driving software on public roads. But the US all-electric carmaker and the regulators have said the features do not make the cars autonomous.
