Tesla Recalls 362,758 Vehicles Due to Potential Risk Posed by “Full Self Driving” Feature

Tesla is recalling 362,758 vehicles due to a potential risk posed by its “Full Self Driving” driver assist feature. According to a notice posted Thursday on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website, the FSD Beta system may cause the vehicles to act unsafely around intersections, such as traveling straight through a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution.

The recall notice states that the “Full Self Driving” system, as it currently stands, navigates local roads with steering, braking and acceleration, but requires a human driver prepared to take control at any moment, as the system makes judgment errors.

Tesla is working to address the issue and has already begun to roll out a software update to the affected vehicles to improve the system’s safety. The company is also working to develop a new version of the software that will be more reliable and accurate.

Tesla is offering to repair the vehicles free of charge, and is asking owners to contact their local service center for more information. The company is also offering a loaner vehicle to customers who are unable to wait for the repair.

Tesla is committed to providing the highest level of safety for its customers, and is taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of its vehicles. The company is working to develop a more reliable and accurate version of the software, and is offering to repair the affected vehicles free of charge.
