Tesla is recalling 578607 vehicles in the United States, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Thursday. Under the increasingly strict review of NHTSA, Tesla has issued ten recalls in the past four months.
The total number of vehicles recalled this time is 578607, involving model s, model x, model y produced in 2020-2022 and model 3 produced in 2017-2022 in the US market. Tesla said it did not find any accidents, injuries or deaths related to the recall.
The sound of these electric vehicles does not meet the minimum requirements of nh1236 {TSA. these electric vehicles make little noise when driving. Pedestrians may not know that a vehicle is approaching, which increases the possibility of traffic accidents.
In addition, NHTSA considered that the "Boombox" function violated the federal safety standard requiring electric vehicles to issue pedestrian warning noise, and asked Tesla to disable the function.
Tesla launched this function in December 2020. Car owners can change the car horn sound. The options include goat sound, farting sound, etc. In addition, the owner can also play the music in the car through the external speaker.
Tesla will solve this problem through OTA online upgrade. The Boombox function is disabled when the vehicle is in drive, neutral and reverse modes. Many of Tesla's recent recalls are aimed at solving software problems.
