Tesla recalls 120,000 vehicles over potentially faulty doors that could open in a crash::Tesla is recalling Tesla Model S luxury sedans and Model X SUVs manufactured in 2022 and 2023 due to the vehicles’ failure to comply with U.S. government regulations.
Just because the recall is an over the air fix, doesn’t make it less serious. Which is probably why it’s called a recall.
Well, with a conventional recall many defunct vehicles will never get repaired and still driven for years whereas this fix will be rapid and hard to avoid even if one tried. It’s not not serious, but the implications are much less severe. Can call it a recall but it’s not equivalent to what most manufacturers call a recall.
No, it’s a recall by definition.
Safety issue: door opens during a crash
Repair: software patch
Not a tesla fan either but it kinda is less serious. I assume the compliance % of an over the air update is much higher than physical recalls. Like I bet people are still driving with faulty Takata airbags or other serious recalls.
