Tesla is recalling 1,849,638 vehicles, including 2021-2024 Model 3, Model S, Model X, and 2020-2024 Model Y vehicles, because the hood latch assembly may fail to detect if the hood is unlatched. This defect means the vehicle might not warn the driver that the hood is open before they start driving. Tesla has released a free over-the-air (OTA) software update to fix this issue, and owner notification letters were mailed in September 2024.
If the vehicle fails to detect and warn the driver of an unlatched hood, the hood could fly fully open while the vehicle is in motion. This would obstruct the driver's view and significantly increase the risk of a crash.
