From The Verge: Tesla is pushing software updates to over 2 million vehicles in the US — or almost every Model S, Y, X, and 3 ever sold in the country — to address a defect in the company’s Autopilot system. On Monday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a recall notice for the vehicles following a two-year investigation into a series of collisions that occurred involving Tesla vehicles using Autopilot, which comes as standard on every new Tesla.
“In certain circumstances when Autosteer is engaged, the prominence and scope of the feature’s controls may not be sufficient to prevent driver misuse,” the agency said in the recall statement, noting that this could lead to an “increased risk of a collision.”
The notice applies to the following vehicle models equipped with Autosteer, a driver-assist feature included within Tesla’s basic Autopilot package:
- 2012–2023 Model S
- 2016–2023 Model X
- 2017–2023 Model 3
- 2020–2023 Model Y
