Tesla will recall roughly 54,000 vehicles in the United States as Cars were not stopping at the Stop Sign Completely

Tesla will recall roughly 54,000 vehicles in the United States to remove a function that allows the cars to pass past a stop sign without stopping completely.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a letter Monday that this “rolling stop” feature in cars equipped with full self-driving software allowed the vehicles to “travel through an all-way stop intersection without first coming to a stop,” which “can increase the risk of a crash.”

Starting in October 2020, Tesla put programming in the beta version of the software that would let a car to pass through a stop sign if no other moving vehicle, bicycle, or pedestrian was present when travelling under 5.6 miles per hour.

Tesla, however, opted to disable this initiative on January 20 after two discussions with the NHTSA, and notified regulators of the recall on January 27. The rolling stops have not been linked to any accidents, according to the manufacturer.

Model 3 vehicles manufactured between 2017 and 2022, Model S and Model X vehicles manufactured between 2016 and 2022, and Model Y vehicles manufactured between 2020 and 2022 will all be recalled.

Tesla will remotely update the software on the vehicles at no cost to the owners.

Tesla announced last week that the FSD Beta is currently being tested in real-world settings by more than 60,000 drivers in its quarterly financial report.

Elon Musk, the company’s CEO and founder, said that fully autonomous driving software would be available “before the end of the year,” a promise he has previously made.

Another recall for 7,600 Tesla vehicles was issued in November to address driver airbag hazards, and a larger recall of half a million cars was issued in December to address trunk issues.
