2020 TESLA MODEL 3 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Tesla Model 3 has 13 recalls, the most serious being loose brake caliper bolts that can allow the caliper to separate and contact the wheel rim, causing sudden tire pressure loss and raising the risk of a crash. A Full Self-Driving software feature called "rolling stop" may let the car roll through an all-way stop intersection without fully stopping. On the occupant safety side, rear seat belt anchors on some vehicles may have been incorrectly reassembled during service, weakening the belt in a crash, and side curtain airbags on certain vehicles may be twisted on the roof rail and deploy improperly, raising the risk of injury or occupant ejection. Visibility issues make up another cluster. The rearview camera cable can be damaged by repeated trunk lid movement and stop displaying an image, and on some vehicles the camera image may not appear right away when reversing. Power windows may not properly reverse when they contact an obstruction, pinching a driver or passenger with excessive force. Several recalls affect pedestrian alerts: a factory reset can silence the pedestrian warning sound the car emits at low speed, and the Boombox feature can play audio through an external speaker while moving and drown out that same warning. There is also a missing seatbelt chime that may not sound when the driver starts the car unbuckled, a speedometer that can drop its mph or km/h unit label in Track Mode on Performance trims, and a tire pressure warning light that may not stay on between drives when tires are low.
