Tesla Model S
Model Overview
The mid-size Model S was Tesla's first mass-market car. Ostensibly a sedan, the Model S puts a small trunk up front and a practical hatchback over its rear cargo area, which can be optioned with a two-place third-row seat suitable for kids. Big power provides rapid acceleration, and is accompanied by the near-silence of the all-electric powertrain. The Model S is both high-tech and handsome, and points the way to an electric future.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
SB-22-00-002
Units Affected:
80,363
Notification Type:
Compliance Mfr
Issue:
Under certain conditions, the seat belt reminder chime may not sound 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 does not 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 email a notice to owners and provide an over-the-air firmware update in early February 2022 to fix this problem. There is no further action required if your vehicle has firmware release 2021.43.101.1 or 2022.4.5, or a later release.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
SB-21-11-003
Units Affected:
6,618
Notification Type:
Compliance Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the front trunk (frunk) hood latch may not be positioned properly. As a result, the secondary latch may not hold the hood closed. This could cause the hood to open suddenly while driving if the primary hood latch is released.
Safety Risk:
A hood that opens suddenly while driving could block the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Tesla will notify owners by e-mail and arrange for an inspection of the secondary hood latch. If the hood doesn't latch properly, Tesla Service will reassemble and reposition the latch mechanism.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
Units Affected:
49,984
Notification Type:
Inconsequential
Issue:
On certain vehicles, when switching the distance display setting from kilometers to miles, the speedometer displays the vehicle speed in miles per hour (mph) only. Canadian regulations require that speed be displayed in either kilometers per hour (km/h) or in both km/h and mph.
Safety Risk:
This small error does not affect vehicle safety.
Corrective Actions:
This is not a recall. Tesla has made changes to ensure that all new vehicle speedometers display mph and km/h when the display distance is set to miles. In addition, this change was sent to all vehicles in firmware update 2020.36.11.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
Units Affected:
18,187
Notification Type:
Inconsequential
Issue:
Certain vehicles do not have the correct warning indicator to show when the passenger airbag is turned off. Recent changes to Canadian regulations require all companies to use a symbol to show when the passenger airbag is turned off instead of text. This change can help to avoid confusion.
Safety Risk:
This small error does not affect the function of the airbag system or the accuracy of the information displayed to the occupant.
Corrective Actions:
This is not a recall. Tesla has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles display the correct symbol when the passenger airbag is turned off. In addition, this change was sent to all vehicles in firmware update 2020.36.
