Tesla, Inc.: 2021 Model S Side View Mirrors Recalled for Incorrect Visibility Standards

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Tesla is recalling 53 units of the 2021 Model S equipped with specific exterior side rearview mirrors (part numbers 1622232-00-B and 1622233-00-B). The driver-side mirrors were manufactured with convex curved glass instead of flat glass, and the passenger-side mirrors are missing the required 'Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear' warning text. Tesla Service will replace these mirrors with compliant versions free of charge.

Risk

The use of incorrect mirror glass can cause a driver to misjudge the actual distance and speed of other vehicles behind or beside them. This visual distortion increases the likelihood of a collision during lane changes or merging.

What You Should Do

  1. Check if your vehicle is a 2021 Tesla Model S and inspect the side mirrors for part numbers 1622232-00-B (driver side) or 1622233-00-B (passenger side).
  2. Look at your passenger-side mirror to see if the required safety warning 'Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear' is missing from the glass.
  3. Contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 and reference recall number SB-22-12-002 to schedule a free mirror replacement.
  4. Contact a Tesla Service Center to have the mirrors replaced at no cost to you.
  5. For additional information, contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
