Tesla Model 3 Recall 23V085: Software may let vehicle run intersections or exceed speed limits

What this recall means for you

Certain Tesla Model S, Model X, Model 3 and Model Y vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving Beta software, or with that software pending installation, may act unsafely around intersections. The software may travel straight through an intersection from a turn-only lane, enter a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceed into an intersection on a steady yellow light without due caution. It may also respond insufficiently to changes in posted speed limits or fail to account for the driver adjusting speed above posted limits.

Software that lets a vehicle exceed speed limits or pass through intersections unlawfully or unpredictably increases the risk of a crash. Tesla will release an over-the-air software update free of charge to address the problem. Owner notification letters were mailed April 15, 2023. Owners can contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 and reference recall SB-23-00-001.

Check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls and confirm whether your car is covered. The remedy is a free software update, so keep the vehicle updated once the fix is available to you.
