Why this matters
The Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) is a crucial safety feature designed to alert pedestrians to the presence of an approaching electric vehicle, which operates quietly. If the PWS sounds are muted, pedestrians may not be aware of the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of a collision. This recall ensures that all affected vehicles comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles."
What's being recalled
Tesla, Inc. is recalling certain 2013, 2018-2021 Model S, 2020-2021 Model X, 2018-2022 Model 3, and 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles. The core issue for this 2022 Tesla Model Y recall and other models is that a factory reset could inadvertently mute the Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) sounds. This condition means the vehicles do not meet the necessary federal safety standards for minimum sound requirements.
