2021 TESLA MODEL 3 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Tesla Model 3 has 11 recalls, the most serious being loose brake caliper bolts that can let the caliper separate and contact the wheel rim, causing sudden tire pressure loss and raising the risk of a crash. A software recall covers vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving (Beta), where a "rolling stop" feature can allow the car to roll through an all-way stop intersection without fully stopping. On the occupant safety side, rear seat belt anchors on certain vehicles may have been incorrectly reassembled during prior service, which can reduce belt performance in a crash, and side curtain airbags on some vehicles may have been improperly secured to the roof rail, causing them to deploy incorrectly or fail to prevent occupant ejection. Several electrical and software issues round out the list. The pedestrian warning system, which emits sound at low speeds so people on foot can hear the car approaching, can be silenced either by a factory reset or by the Boombox feature playing audio through the external speaker while moving. Power windows may not reverse properly when they detect an obstruction and can pinch a hand or arm before retracting. The driver seat belt reminder chime may not sound at startup. On Performance trim vehicles in Track Mode, the speedometer may drop the mph or km/h unit label from the display. The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may also fail to stay on between drives when tire pressure is low.
