Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus Rwd 5YJ3E1EA8MF889112

Due to an issue during the assembly process, the brake caliper fastening device may have been tightened below the specified torque, which over time could cause the fastening device to loosen. In extremely rare cases, the caliper may separate from the knuckle and come into contact with the inside of the wheel rim. In such cases, the wheel may become deformed and unable to rotate freely, potentially damaging the tire and causing a loss of air pressure, which could lead to reduced braking performance and an increased risk of collision, resulting in a recall.

After checking that the torque of all brake caliper mounting fasteners is according to specifications, replace the bolts and tighten to the proper torque if it is below the specified torque (during inspection, if damage to related parts caused by loose or missing fasteners is found, such as wheel changes, carry out additional repairs on the relevant parts).

Firmware update to version 2021.43.101.1/2022.04.5 or later via OTA (over-the-air)

(Go to Controls → Software on the touchscreen to update)

There may be a software error in the power window system, which could lead to a recall due to the possibility that, in certain situations, when the window glass is closing and touches an obstacle, a force greater than the allowable force on the obstacle is applied, or when the window glass reopens, it may not open as much as expected (*This may fail to meet certain requirements of the power window reversal system specified in FMVSS 118S5 [automatic reversal system]).

(*However, visiting the service center is not required for this corrective action, so please contact the manufacturer’s customer service for detailed information.)

When the driver uses the AutoSteer feature, the devices that provide sufficient warnings to the driver and limit the function if the driver does not actively participate in driving may be insufficient. In such cases, if the driver misuses the driver assistance function and does not maintain continuous responsibility while driving the vehicle, or fails to recognize whether the feature is activated/deactivated, the risk of collision may increase, leading to a potential recall.

Update to version 2023.44.30 or later via OTA (over-the-air)

1. Apply the option to simplify Autosteer activation and deactivation: Activation and deactivation changed from 2 steps -> 1 step

2. Improved driver monitoring alerts (applies only to Model 3/Y)

 - Increased warning text size and moved warning screen from bottom -> top

3. Autosteer will be disabled for one week if incorrect driver usage is detected

 - Model 3Y (Year: 2019-2023) / SX (Year: 2023) (Interior camera function on): 5 times

 - Model SX (Year: 2017-2020) (Interior camera function off): 3 times

4. Increase driver monitoring when approaching traffic lights using Autosteer in areas that are not highways

If the size of the Brake, Park, and ABS indicator letters on the dashboard is smaller than 3.2mm, drivers may find it difficult to notice when these indicators light up, which could potentially increase the risk of a collision, leading to a recall.

Software error: When the driver opens the hood, if the vehicle's locking mechanism fails to detect that it is unlocked, the driver may not be notified that the hood is open. In such cases, if the driver drives without realizing the hood is open, there is a possibility that the hood could fully open, obstructing the driver's view and increasing the risk of a collision, prompting a recall.
