Pretty much every Tesla that has ever been made in the US is being recalled to fix a flaw in Autopilot. According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice, the recall affects 2,031,220 Teslas, including the Model S, Model X, Model 3 and Model Y. And here’s what’s going to be addressed:
In certain circumstances when Autosteer is engaged, if a driver misuses the SAE Level 2 advanced driver-assistance feature such that they fail to maintain continuous and sustained responsibility for vehicle operation and are unprepared to intervene, fail to recognize when the feature is canceled or not engaged, and/or fail to recognize when the feature is operating in situations where its functionality may be limited, there may be an increased risk of a collision.
Keep in mind that Tesla has had its Autopilot system under scrutiny for years as investigators suspect the Autopilot feature is the cause of several crashes across the country, some of which have resulted in deaths of both drivers and pedestrians. Thus this was coming for a while. Also keep in mind that 360,000 Teslas that have their full self driving feature were recalled in February. Which is also not a good look for Tesla. Finally, I am pretty sure that this will expand to other countries. Meaning that Tesla will be having not only a very bad day, but a bad holiday season because of this. And Elon Musk being the less than fully functioning adult that he is will be raging on Twitter because of this.
