Full Self-Driving Beta Recall – February 2023
Tesla recalled 362,758 vehicles in February that didn’t adhere to traffic safety laws, the NHTSA reported. Regulators said the software allowed vehicles to “exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner increases the risk of a crash.”
The Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y vehicles were included in the recall which said the full self-driving feature could infringe on the local traffic laws before the driver could intervene. Such violations could include running through an intersection at a yellow traffic light, vehicle position at a stop sign, adjusting the speed when the limit changes, and changing out of turn-only lanes to continue driving straight.
As with several other recalls, Tesla deployed an OTA (over-the-air) update to improve how the self-driving features negotiate the referenced driving maneuvers.
