Tesla, Inc.: 2023 Semi Trucks Recalled for Parking Brake Failure and Rollaway Risk

Agency Publication Date: March 24, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Tesla is recalling 35 of its 2023 Semi trucks because the electronic parking brake valve module (PVM) may fail to move into the park position. If this happens, the parking brake will not engage when the driver activates it. All affected vehicles were reportedly repaired by April 10, 2023, but owners should verify their vehicle's status to ensure the risk is addressed. Tesla will replace the valve module free of charge.

Risk

If the parking brake does not engage as expected, the truck may roll away unexpectedly after the driver releases the service brakes. This significantly increases the risk of a crash or injury to bystanders.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking for the 2023 Tesla Semi model year.
  2. Verify if your truck was among those already repaired; Tesla reports that all 35 affected units were serviced by April 10, 2023.
  3. Contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 and reference recall number SB-23-33-001 to confirm your vehicle's repair status or to schedule a free replacement of the parking brake valve module (PVM) if needed.
  4. For additional information, contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
