Tesla Recall 2022: Do You Drive One Of These 578,000 Cars Recalled?

In the fourth recall in two weeks, Tesla (TSLA) has issued another recall for nearly 578,000 of its electric vehicles over pedestrian warning notification that may be obscured due the Boombox feature.

The recall affects certain 2017 to 2022 Model 3, 2020 to 2022 Model S, 2020 to 2022 Model X, and 2020 to 2022 Model Y vehicles.

The safety issue is linked to the Boombox function in the electric cars that allows sounds to be played through the external speaker while the vehicle is in motion. This could cause the Pedestrian Warning System sounds to be obscured, which could prevent pedestrians from becoming aware of an approaching vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.

This is also a violation of a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, which requires pedestrian warning notifications for electric cars which operate near silent when in operation.

To repair the issue, Tesla will perform an over-the-air software update that will disable the Boombox functionality while the vehicle is in drive, neutral, and reverse models at no charge to affected owners.

Owners are expected to receive a recall notification starting on April 5. Questions about the recall can be directed to Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752.

Earlier this week, Tesla recalled 26,600 vehicles due to a windshield defrosting problem that could affect driver visibility.

Last week, Tesla issued two recalls – one for over 817,000 EVs that had a seatbelt issue, and the other for nearly 54,000 cars and SUVs due to the Full-Self Driving feature that could prevent vehicles from coming to a complete stop at stop signs.

This marks the 15th recall Tesla has issued since January 2021, ABC News reported.

As of Thursday at 10:11 a.m. EST, shares of Tesla were trading at $930.11, down $1.89, or 0.20%.
