More than a million Tesla owners will have to deal with another recall notice in the coming weeks. On Tuesday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration filed a safety recall notice for numerous late model vehicles across the EV manufacturer’s lineup because “the automatic window reversal system may not react properly after detecting an obstruction” and as such “a closing window may exert excessive force by pinching the driver or passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury,” by the warning.
The following models and years will be affected: 2017-22 Model 3s, as well as 2020-21 Model Y, X, and S vehicles. Tesla has until mid-November to contact affected owners and plans to push an OTA software update to fix the problem.
