Tesla Model S from the production period 01/19/2021 to 09/16/2022

Tesla Model 3 from the production period 0 07/02/2017 to 09/14. 2022

Tesla Model X from the production period February 12, 2021 to September 16, 2022

Tesla Model Y from the production period November 26, 2019 to September 14, 2022

Tesla will give affected vehicles an Over Deploy the-Air ("OTA") firmware update to affected vehicles that improves the calibration of the vehicle's automatic window reversing system. The recall can be found at NHTSA under case number 22V-702.

Tesla needs to fix over a million vehicles. In the affected vehicles, it could happen that the automatic window regulator does not recognize when there is an obstacle between the frame and the window.
