34,993 Telsa Model Y and Model 3 cars with a year range of 2020 – 2024 have been recalled.
Due to manufacturing defect, the bonnet latch assembly may not detect when it is opened by the driver and therefore fail to warn the driver of “open bonnet”. If the vehicle is driven with unlatched bonnet, it may open abruptly when driving and could result in obstruction of the driver’s view.
Obstruction of the driver’s view may increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to road users.
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted in writing by Tesla. To address the issue, an over the air software update (OTA) update will be installed on all affected vehicles.
If your vehicle is running on software version 2024.20.3 or later, your vehicle is not subject to this issue. You can confirm your vehicle’s software version by tapping ‘Controls’ > ‘Software’ on your touchscreen.
