Transport Canada recall 2024283 · manufacturer campaign SB-24-00-007

21 May 2024

Transport Canada lists: Model 3 2018–2024 · Model S 2012–2024 · Model X 2016–2024 · Model Y 2020–2024

What is wrong

A previous over-the-air (OTA) software update could cause the vehicle not to display the correct visual warning indicators when there are problems with the brake system or when the parking brake is applied. As a result, the BRAKE, PARK, and antilock brake system (ABS) visual indicators would display as text instead of symbols.

Why it matters

While there is a low risk to safety, Canadian regulations require visual warnings to use common symbols, instead of words, to avoid driver confusion.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will notify affected owners by email. Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to fix this problem. There is no further action required if your vehicle has software release 2024.3.25, 2024.14.5, or a release later than 2024.14.5.

Transport Canada recall 2023657 · manufacturer campaign SB-23-00-008

12 December 2023

Transport Canada lists: Model 3 2017–2023 · Model S 2012–2023 · Model X 2016–2023 · Model Y 2020–2023

What is wrong

On vehicles equipped with the Autosteer advanced driver-assistance feature, when using the feature, the vehicle may not provide strong enough warnings or monitor the driver closely enough to prevent misuse of the feature.

Why it matters

A driver that doesn't pay close attention while using the Autosteer feature or who doesn't react quickly when Autosteer is canceled could have an increased risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will notify owners by email and supply an over-the-air software update to improve driver monitoring and alerts while using the Autosteer feature. Tesla advises that you must always pay attention and be ready to take control of the vehicle at any time while using the Autosteer advanced driver-assistance feature.

Transport Canada lists: Model 3 2018–2022 · Model S 2016–2023 · Model X 2016–2023 · Model Y 2020–2022

What is wrong

In certain traffic situations, when the FSD Beta advanced driver assistance feature is engaged, the vehicle may perform maneuvers that break certain traffic laws, if the driver doesn't intervene and take control. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with the FSD Beta feature.

Why it matters

Certain maneuvers performed by the FSD Beta advanced driver assistance feature may break traffic laws. This could increase the risk of a crash if the driver doesn't intervene.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will notify owners by email and supply an over-the-air software update to improve how the FSD Beta feature maneuvers the vehicle in certain traffic situations. Tesla reminds that FSD Beta is only an advanced driver assistance feature, and the driver must pay attention and be ready to take control at all times when the feature is engaged.

Transport Canada recall 2021783 · manufacturer campaign SB-21-11-003

21 December 2021

Transport Canada lists: Model S 2014–2020

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front trunk (frunk) hood latch may not be positioned properly. As a result, the secondary latch may not hold the hood closed. This could cause the hood to open suddenly while driving if the primary hood latch is released.

Why it matters

A hood that opens suddenly while driving could block the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will notify owners by e-mail and arrange for an inspection of the secondary hood latch. If the hood doesn't latch properly, Tesla Service will reassemble and reposition the latch mechanism.
