What's wrong: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2017-2022 Model 3, 2020-2022 Model Y, and 2021-2022 Model S and Model X vehicles. The window automatic reversal system may not react correctly after detecting an obstruction. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 118, "power-operated window systems."

Why it matters: A closing window may exert excessive force by pinching a driver or passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Tesla will perform an over-the-air (ota) software update of the automatic window reversal system, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 31, 2032.
