Affected vehicles were identified based on vehicle manufacturing records. Production Dates : FEB 12, 2021 – SEP 16, 2022 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Noncompliance : Description of the Noncompliance : Affected vehicles may not meet certain automatic window reversal system requirements in FMVSS 118, Section 5 (automatic reversal systems). When closing in circumstances subject to FMVSS 118, Section 5, the window may exert more force than Section 5 permits before retracting. The window may also retract less than the distance required under Section 5. FMVSS 1 : 118 – Power-operated window systems FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : If a window is closing and detects an obstruction, the condition may increase the risk of a pinching injury to the occupant. Description of the Cause : NR Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : NR Involved Components : Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-702 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Component Name 1 : Vehicle Firmware Component Description : Vehicle Firmware Component Part Number : N/A Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : Tesla, Inc. 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. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : All Tesla stores and service centers will be notified about this recall on or shortly after September 21, 2022. Owner notification letters will be mailed in accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 577.7.
