2023 TESLA MODEL S Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2023 Tesla Model S has 7 recalls, the most serious being a hood latch sensor failure that can leave the hood unlatched without warning, allowing it to fly open while driving and blocking the driver's view. On the occupant safety side, there are several concerns worth noting. If the steering yoke or round wheel was replaced, an incompatible airbag may have been installed that deploys incorrectly in a crash. Separately, a software issue can allow cabin doors to unlock during a crash, raising the risk of a door swinging open at impact. Front seatbelts on certain vehicles may not be properly secured to their pretensioner anchors and can detach in a crash, leaving occupants without effective restraint. Two electrical issues affect visibility and driver awareness. Vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving Computer 4.0 running certain software versions can fail to show the rearview camera image while in reverse. There is also a compliance issue with the instrument panel, where brake and ABS warning lights display in a font too small to read clearly. Finally, the seatbelt reminder chime and warning light may not activate when the driver is unbelted.
