Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Tesla is recalling approximately 1,096,762 vehicles, including 2017-2022 Model 3, 2020-2022 Model Y, and 2021-2022 Model S and Model X vehicles. The automatic window reversal system in these cars may not react correctly when detecting an obstruction, such as a finger or limb. To fix this, Tesla will provide a free over-the-air (OTA) software update to ensure the windows retract properly and comply with safety standards.

Risk

A closing window may fail to detect an obstruction and exert excessive force before retracting, which can pinch a driver or passenger and cause physical injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking your model and year: 2017-2022 Model 3, 2020-2022 Model Y, or 2021-2022 Model S and Model X.
  2. Check your vehicle's software settings to see if an over-the-air (OTA) update (Recall SB-22-00-013) is available for your automatic window reversal system.
  3. Accept and install the free software update provided by Tesla to resolve the window safety issue; no physical visit to a service center is required for this remedy.
  4. If you have further questions, contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 and reference recall number SB-22-00-013.
