Condition
Certain model year 2021-2022 Model S and Model X vehicles, model year 2017-2022 Model 3 vehicles, and model year 2019-2022 Model Y vehicles may require a vehicle software update to ensure that the automatic window reversal system complies with regulatory standards.
Correction
Inspect the vehicle software version, and if necessary, update the vehicle software to version 2023.2.12 or later.
Procedure
On the vehicle touchscreen, touch Controls (vehicle icon) > Software, and then scroll down to display the vehicle software version.
- If the vehicle is operating with software version 2.12 or later, no further action is necessary. Use correction code S012270002.
- If the vehicle is operating with a software version earlier than 2.12, update to version 2023.2.12 or later (refer to Service Manual procedure 00020003; Model S , Model X , Model 3, Model Y). Use correction code S022270002.
Chronology :
– During conformity of production testing conducted from August 19, 2022, through August 23, 2022, Tesla technicians identified window automatic reversal system performance that had greater than expected variations in response to pinch detection.
– Immediately, on August 23, 2022, Tesla conducted additional compliance tests on multiple samples of each model using various window positions, multiple spring rates and gap designations to address the concern. This testing concluded on September 5, 2022.
– From September 5, 2022, to September 11, 2022, Tesla analyzed and validated test results through log analysis (current draw and encoder count) and confirmation of repeatability within test set-ups and test execution.
– On September 12, 2022, Tesla determined that the pinch detection and retraction performance in the test results exceeded the requirements of FMVSS 118, Section 5 (automatic reversal systems), depending on spring force and rod configuration. Accordingly, Tesla made a determination to issue a voluntary recall.
– Beginning on September 13, 2022, vehicles in production and in pre-delivery containment received a firmware release that sets power operated window operation to the requirements specified in FMVSS 118, Section 4.
– As of September 16, 2022, Tesla is not aware of any warranty claims, field reports, crashes, injuries, or deaths related to this condition.

Tesla, Inc. ha decidido que algunos vehículos Model S y Model X de los años 2021-2022, Model 3 de los años 2017-2022 y Model Y de los años 2020-2022 no cumplen con el Estándar federal de seguridad de vehículos motorizados (“FMVSS”) núm. 118 “Sistemas eléctricos de ventanas, divisiones y paneles del techo”. Nuestros registros muestran que usted posee un vehículo afectado por esta acción. MOTIVO DE ESTE AVISO En los vehículos afectados, una ventanilla, al cerrarse, puede ejercer más fuerza de la permitida por FMVSS núm. 118 antes de retraerse, y la ventanilla puede retraerse menos de la distancia requerida por FMVSS núm. 118. Un sistema de inversión automática de las ventanillas que no cumpla con FMVSS núm. 118 puede aumentar el riesgo de que el ocupante sufra lesiones por pellizcos. LO QUE TESLA HARÁ Sin ningún cargo para usted, Tesla implementará una actualización de firmware inalámbrica (“OTA”) en los vehículos afectados que mejora la calibración del comportamiento del sistema de inversión automática de las ventanillas del vehículo para garantizar el cumplimiento de FMVSS núm. 118. LO QUE USTED DEBE HACER Compruebe que su vehículo tenga la versión de software 2023.2.12 o superior, que contenga la solución. Puede comprobar la versión de software de su vehículo tocando “Controles” y luego “Software” en la pantalla táctil. Si su vehículo tiene la versión 2023.2.12 o posterior, no es necesario que realice ninguna otra acción y puede ignorar este aviso. Si su vehículo no tiene una de estas versiones de software, instale la última actualización de software pendiente a través de la aplicación de Tesla o tocando el icono del reloj amarillo en la pantalla táctil de su vehículo y siguiendo las indicaciones.

Address : 1 Tesla Road Austin Texas 78725 Country : United States Chronology : – During conformity of production testing conducted from August 19, 2022, through August 23, 2022, Tesla technicians identified window automatic reversal system performance that had greater than expected variations in response to pinch detection. – Immediately, on August 23, 2022, Tesla conducted additional compliance tests on multiple samples of each model using various window positions, multiple spring rates and gap designations to address the concern. This testing concluded on September 5, 2022. – From September 5, 2022, to September 11, 2022, Tesla analyzed and validated test results through log analysis (current draw and encoder count) and confirmation of repeatability within test set-ups and test execution. – On September 12, 2022, Tesla determined that the pinch detection and retraction performance in the test results exceeded the requirements of FMVSS 118, Section 5 (automatic reversal systems), depending on spring force and rod configuration. Accordingly, Tesla made a determination to issue a voluntary recall. – Beginning on September 13, 2022, vehicles in production and in pre-delivery containment received a firmware release that sets power operated window operation to the requirements specified in FMVSS 118, Section 4. – As of September 16, 2022, Tesla is not aware of any warranty claims, field reports, crashes, injuries, or deaths related to this condition. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-702 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : At no cost to the customer, Tesla will deploy an over-the-air (“OTA”) firmware update to affected vehicles that enhances the calibration of the vehicle’s automatic window reversal system behavior to ensure compliance with FMVSS 118, Section 5, in all loading conditions. Tesla does not plan to include a statement in the Part 577 owner notification about pre-notice reimbursement because there are no out of warranty repairs related to this condition. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The remedy OTA firmware update ensures compliance of the vehicle’s automatic window reversal system to FMVSS 118, Section 5, whereas a firmware release without the remedy does not. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : Beginning on September 13, 2022, vehicles in production and in predelivery containment received a firmware release that sets power operated window operation to the requirements specified in FMVSS 118, Section 4, rendering Section 5 not applicable.
