Tesla is recalling 2020 Model 3 vehicles with FSD Beta software that may cause unsafe intersection maneuvers, increasing crash risk. Owners must update software via over-the-air update.
FSD Beta software that allows a vehicle to exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner increases the risk of a crash.
Tesla is recalling certain 2020 Model 3 vehicles that have Full Self-Driving Beta software. This software can cause the vehicle to act unpredictably at intersections, potentially leading to crashes. Owners must install a free software update to fix the issue.
The FSD Beta software may cause the vehicle to enter intersections without stopping, travel through turn-only lanes, or ignore speed limits. This can lead to crashes with other vehicles or pedestrians.
Owners of 2020 Tesla Model 3 vehicles with Full Self-Driving Beta software are affected. Drivers using this software in areas with complex intersections face the highest risk.
Check if your 2020 Tesla Model 3 has Full Self-Driving Beta software installed. The software was available from when the vehicle was first sold until the recall update.
Tesla will send a free over-the-air software update to fix the FSD Beta software issue.
