On May 10, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Tuesday that Tesla is recalling about 130000 vehicles in the United States because the company's central touch screen may have overheating problems, resulting in its display failure. The recalled models include model s and model x for 2021 and 2022, and model 3 and model y for 2022. According to NHTSA, Tesla will solve this problem through wireless software updates.
NHTSA said that the CPU overheating of Tesla's on-board infotainment system may prevent the central screen from displaying rearview mirror images, warning lights and other information.
Tesla has informed NHTSA that since January this year, the company has received 59 warranty claims and 59 on-site reports that may be related to the problem, but there are no reports of crashes or injuries related to the problem.
In April this year, Tesla recalled 48000 model 3 high-performance versions in the United States because the speedometer information may not be displayed in the "track mode" mode.
In addition, Tesla has released a series of camera related recalls. In March this year, Tesla recalled 947 cars in the United States because the rearview mirror may not display images immediately when the car starts reversing.
In December 2021, Tesla recalled 356309 model 3 produced from 2017 to 2020 to solve the rearview mirror problem. NHTSA said: "the harness of the rear view camera may be damaged by the trunk lid switch, so that the image of the rear view camera cannot be displayed."
So far this year, Tesla has released 11 recalls this year, ranking fourth with Chrysler's parent company stellantis.
