Here's What We Know

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that the software that notifies drivers of a loose bonnet could fail. This could cause the bonnet to open while driving and block the driver's view.

The recall affects Model 3, Model S and Model X models manufactured from 2021 to 2024, as well as Model Y models manufactured from 2020 to 2024. Tesla has issued an over-the-air software update that should resolve the issue.

This recall is the next in a series of problems for the company in 2024. Previously, vehicles have been recalled due to faults in the rearview camera, warning lights, seat belts and windscreen wipers.
