A large recall of Tesla vehicles equipped with full self-driving (FSD) software is now underway. It includes all Tesla models currently available, going back to 2016 for the Model S and Model X, 2017 for the Model 3, and 2020 for the Model Y. 362,758 vehicles are subject to the recall.
At issue is the functionality of FSD in certain situations which could allow "a vehicle to exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner," thus increasing the risk of a crash. The recall notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) specifically calls out intersections, noting that vehicles using FSD could proceed straight despite being in a turn lane.
