Tesla recalls 321,000 U.S. vehicles over rear light issue

WASHINGTON, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Tesla is recalling more than 321,000 vehicles in the United States because tail lights may intermittently fail to illuminate, the company said in a filing made public Saturday.

The news follows the company's recall on Friday of nearly 30,000 Model X cars in the United States over an issue that may cause the front passenger air bag to deploy incorrectly, which sent its shares down almost 3% to a near two-year low.

In the filing published Saturday to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the electric vehicle manufacturer said the tail light-related recall covers some 2023 Model 3 and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles.

Texas-based Tesla said it will deploy an over-the-air update to correct the rear light issue and said it has no reports of any crashes or injuries related to the recall.

The company said the recall followed customer complaints it became aware of in late October, largely from foreign markets, claiming vehicle tail lights were not illuminating.

The investigation found in rare cases the lights may intermittently not work due to an anomaly that may cause false fault detections during the vehicle wake-up process. Tesla said it had received three warranty reports over the issue.

Thank you. Don’t know what forum member repost giant stories, doubly so when the lede is buried deep in walls of text and essentially empty. “Tesla fixes minor glitch with OTA update” doesn’t have quite the ring I guess. :rolleyes:

Hmm nothing burger??

Seems like possible lots of equipment violation tickets can be issued (one will spend wasted time pulled over, then explaining to judge/police) , 2nd - when one gets rear ended due to no warning of rear lights. (Loss use of car due to an accident, time loss etc..)

It’s already fixed automatically. If you have an affected car and haven’t gotten a ticket already, you won’t.

So nothing burger.
