2019 TESLA MODEL 3 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 Tesla Model 3 has 18 recalls, the most serious involving brake calipers that can loosen and separate from the wheel, contacting the rim and causing a sudden loss of tire pressure, and front suspension links that can loosen and detach, abruptly shifting wheel alignment and making the vehicle unstable. On the software and driver assistance side, the Full Self-Driving Beta feature includes a "rolling stop" function that may allow the car to roll through an all-way stop intersection without fully stopping. There are also three separate pedestrian warning system issues: a factory reset could silence the external low-speed warning sound entirely, the Boombox feature can play audio through the external speaker while moving and drown out that same warning, and some vehicles may simply not produce enough sound at low speeds to alert people nearby. Rear visibility has its own cluster of concerns: the rearview camera cable can be damaged by repeated trunk lid operation and stop displaying an image, and on certain vehicles the camera image may be delayed when shifting into reverse. On the safety equipment side, rear seat belt anchors on vehicles that have had service work may have been incorrectly reassembled, and the driver seat belt chime may not sound when the car starts without the belt fastened. The sun visor on some vehicles is missing the required airbag warning label. The power windows may not reverse properly when they detect an obstruction, and on Performance trim vehicles in Track Mode, the speedometer may stop showing the speed unit. The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may also fail to stay on between drives if pressure is low.
