Tesla is recalling 6,557 vehicles, including certain 2013 and 2018-2021 Model S, 2020-2021 Model X, 2018-2022 Model 3, and 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles. A software issue caused by factory resets can accidentally mute the Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) sounds, which are required by federal safety standards for electric vehicles. Tesla has released a free over-the-air (OTA) software update to fix the issue and restore the required safety sounds.
If the Pedestrian Warning System is muted, the vehicle may be too quiet for pedestrians to hear it approaching, significantly increasing the risk of a collision or injury to people nearby.
Over-the-air (OTA) software update (release 2023.44.30.14).
