NHTSA recall 22E092000
Visibility · Tesla, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2021 Model S exterior side rearview mirrors, part numbers: 1622232-00-b and 1622233-00-b. The driver side exterior rearview mirrors are convex (curved glass) and the passenger side mirrors do not include the "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" etched warning. As such, these mirrors fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard…
Why it matters: When using the incorrect mirrors, the driver may misjudge the distance of other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Tesla service will replace the mirrors, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 31, 2022.
