Tesla has announced a new recall order, and this time a combined 321,000 units of Model 3 and Model Y are affected. The automaker issued the recall for cars in the United States.
According to Reuters, Tesla needs to fix the rear tail lights as they may fail to work at some point. The electric vehicle maker explained in a filing to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that was published last weekend that the lights may not illuminate steadily. The company is recalling the 2023 Model 3 EVs as well as the 2020-2023 Model Y units to resolve the issue.
Tesla said it would arrange an over-the-air update to fix the problem with the rear light. With this recall, the automaker pointed out that it has not received any reports of injuries or crashes related to the recall, but it announced a recall after getting some complaints late last month.
This was the time that Tesla became aware of the issue, and the complaints mostly came from foreign markets. They claimed that their vehicles’ tail lights were not lighting up as they should.
The NHTSA said that this is a rare case and has already received three warranty reports stating this issue.
In the recall announcement, the NHTSA described the problem by stating, “In rare cases, tail lamps on one or both sides of the affected vehicles may intermittently illuminate due to a firmware anomaly that may cause false fault detections during the vehicle wake up process. Brake lamps, backup lamps and turn signal lamps are not affected by this condition and continue to operate as designed.”
Meanwhile, this call back follows Tesla’s recall that was only issued last week. It involves the recall of almost 30,000 Model X cars in the U.S. due to airbags that may not deploy properly in case of an accident. In this year alone, based on the NHTSA’s records, Tesla was said to have issued a total of 19 recall campaigns in the country, covering over 3.7 million vehicle units.
