Tesla is recalling 36 of its 2023 Semi vehicles because the door closure warning system can be dismissed by the driver, and the warning indicator may only appear when the parking brake is released. This defect allows the vehicle to be driven while a side door is not fully latched, which violates federal safety standards for door retention. Tesla has already released an over-the-air software update to correct this issue and reports that all affected vehicles were repaired by June 2023.
A driver may inadvertently dismiss a warning or be unaware that a side door is unsecured before they begin driving. This creates a significant safety hazard as an unsecured door could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury to occupants or others on the road.
