REC-005441

active

2021–2022 TESLA MODEL 3

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Tesla, Inc.

Recall date: 18 May 2022

Defect

Due to a software issue, fast-charging the vehicle may result in the infotainment central processing unit (CPU) overheating. If the CPU overheats the centre screen display may lag or appear blank.

Hazard

If the centre screen lags or becomes blank, drive mode selection (drive, neutral, or reverse), rearview camera display, window wiper control settings, and warning lights may become unavailable. This may increase the risk of a collision resulting in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.

Remedy

Tesla has implemented an Over-The-Air update that will reduce the temperature of the infotainment system whilst fast-charging.
