Tesla Model 3 recalled again
Infotainment unit issues detected for more than 4200 examples of Model 3 EV when fast-chargingAustralia’s biggest-selling electric car – the 2022 Tesla Model 3 – has been hit with its second safety recall this month, this time relating to a potential fault with the infotainment system.
A total of 4287 vehicles are affected by the recall, which covers all variants of the Model 3 built between 2021 and 2022.
According to Tesla’s recall notice, a software issue is to blame for the potential fault, which could result in the infotainment central processing unit (CPU) overheating while the vehicle is being fast-charged.
“If the centre screen lags or becomes blank, drive mode selection (drive, neutral or reverse), rear-view camera display, window wiper control settings and warning lights may become unavailable,” the company said.
Owners of affected cars will receive a notification for an over-the-air (OTA) update that will reduce the temperature of the infotainment system while fast-charging.
Earlier this month, Tesla announced a recall for almost 3000 Model 3 Performance models (2018-2022) that may not display the speed correctly when operated in Track Mode.
An OTA update will also be required to fix this problem.
