2023 Tesla Model S

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the driver-front airbag may have been damaged during assembly. As a result, the airbag may not inflate properly in a crash. 

Safety Risk: 
An airbag that doesn't inflate properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Tesla will notify owners by email and advise you to contact Tesla Service to arrange for an inspection and, if necessary, the replacement of the driver-front airbag.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the hood latch assembly could fail and cause the unlatched hood warning not to display on the instrument panel. As a result, you may not be aware that the hood isn't latched properly. If this happens, the hood could open suddenly while driving. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A hood that opens suddenly while driving can block the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Tesla will notify affected owners by email. Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to fix this issue. There is no further action required if your vehicle has software release 2024.20.3 or a later release.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the seat belt reminder chime and visual warning may not work when you start the vehicle and your seat belt is not buckled. Canadian regulations require both a seat belt reminder sound and visual telltale when a driver is not wearing their seat belt. 

Safety Risk: 
A seat belt warning that doesn't work correctly may not remind you to buckle your seat belt. Not wearing your seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Tesla will notify owners by email and supply an over-the-air software update to activate the seat belt reminder chime and visual warning.

Issue: 
A previous over-the-air (OTA) software update could cause the vehicle not to display the correct visual warning indicators when there are problems with the brake system or when the parking brake is applied. As a result, the BRAKE, PARK, and antilock brake system (ABS) visual indicators would display as text instead of symbols. 

Safety Risk: 
While there is a low risk to safety, Canadian regulations require visual warnings to use common symbols, instead of words, to avoid driver confusion. 

Corrective Actions: 
Tesla will notify affected owners by email. Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to fix this problem. There is no further action required if your vehicle has software release 2024.3.25, 2024.14.5, or a release later than 2024.14.5.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the doors not to stay latched in a crash. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain side impact protection requirements of Canadian regulations. 

Safety Risk: 
A door that opens in a crash could increase the risk of injury. 

Corrective Actions: 
Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to fix this problem. There is no further action required if your vehicle has software release 2023.44.30 or a later release. Tesla will notify affected owners by email.
