Details

What's wrong: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Model S, Model X, and 2022 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles operating certain firmware releases. The infotainment central processing unit (cpu) may overheat during the preparation or process of fast-charging, causing the cpu to lag or restart.

Why it matters: A lagging or restarting cpu may prevent the center screen from displaying the rearview camera image, gear selection, windshield visibility control settings, and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Tesla will perform an over-the-air (ota) software update that will improve cpu temperature management, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 1, 2022.
