Tesla offers up three different levels of semi-autonomous driving for its Vehicles they range from the standard autopilot next is optional enhanced autopilot and finally Tesla offers what it calls full self-driving capability or FST.
It's that last one that has finally drawn the ire of the national highway traffic safety administration and force Tesla to issue a recall notice which the automaker says it can fix for free with an over-the-air update. So what's the issue with this system and what is Tesla doing to fix it.
The short answers are plenty and I don't know the specifics but there's a lot more to unpack here Nitsa has forced Tesla to issue the recall that's a term Elon Musk takes issue with since he believes a car needs to physically head to a service station for it to be a recall that's just not true though and recalls can be software related in nature too which is how even if it's corrected via an over-the-air update it's still considered a recall.
What Nitsa has concluded is that FSD could run through or turn on Long yellow lights it doesn't always fully stop at stop signs the system will speed through sections where the speed zone changes even though it should be detecting the speed limit change due to the signage and FSD can also drive straight through a lane when it's in a turn only lane.
Some of these features are actually part of a mode included in FSD it's called assertive mode and allows the car to do rolling stops reduces following distance to cars in front of it and will have the car stay in the passing Lane on a highway rather than move over.
Honestly sounds like they use the right first letter for the mode name but the wrong a word Tesla is going to issue a 6 to comply with Nitsa yet the automaker is also stated that doesn't agree with the agency's analysis additionally this is apparently the tip of the iceberg as there are a number of Nitsa and Dot investigations still open and ongoing.
The cars affected by this recall add up to 362 758 models that's a spread of the three the Y the X and the s for the X and S it's for model years 2016 to 2023. The three is for 2017 to 2023 and the Y is 2020 to 2023.
And this is for models where the owner paid to activate FSD which is not a cheap option to jump from autopilot to enhanced autopilot is six grand but FSD is a 15 000 option and Tesla still very much considers FSD to be in beta so you have cars running beta software where drivers Have Faith In A system that Nitsa has finally come out and said you need to fix this part of it.
And says we still have a lot more to investigate regardless after the update which I'd speculate would just remove or tone down assertive mode drivers will still be able to utilize FSD owners affected by the recall will get letters in the mail by April 15th.
You can also reach out to the Tesla customer service line which I've just put on the screen here and if you're thinking now is the time to buy a Tesla there are some great deals over on AutoTrader I just saw a low mileage s plaid for under a hundred thousand dollars that's a lot of power so maybe keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road with that one okay.
