Tesla is Business Relationshiprecalling362,758 of its vehicles – nearly everyEV equipped with Full Self-Driving Beta, its driver assistance system – according to a recall noticeput out on Thursday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The NHTSA notice specifically claims that the Full Self-Driving software, a beta feature that costs Tesla owners an extra $15,000 on top of the cost of the vehicle, "allows a vehicle to exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner increases the risk of a crash." The notice goes on to provide examples of unsafe behavior such as the vehicle traveling straight in a turn-only lane, proceeding through a yellow light without due caution, and approaching a stop-sign without coming to a complete stop.

The recall affects a slew of Tesla vehicles with Full Self-Driving Beta including 2016 through 2023 Model S and Model X cars, and 2017 through 2023 Model 3 cars. 2020 through 2023 Model Y vehicles with Full Self-Driving are also affected.
While Tesla issuedthe recall voluntarily out of "an abundance of caution," CEO Elon Musk was not happy with how the news was being reported.

"The word 'recall' for an over-the-air software update is anachronistic and just flat wrong!" Musk posted in a reply on Twitter.
However, it should be noted that the document filed by Tesla to issue the recall is called "Safety Recall Report" and the NHTSA issued the notice as a recall.
This move comes just days after a TV ad demandingthe NHTSA take action regarding safety concerns with Tesla's Full Self-Driving air in major U.S. metropolitan areas during the Super Bowl. However, we should note that according to documents, Tesla officially made the decision to issue the recall on Feb. 7.
As a result of the recall, Tesla will be issuing a free over-the-air (OTA) software update to the affected Tesla vehicles. Owners will received notification letters, which will be mailed by April 15.
Tesla's autopilot is not part of the recall, however, according to previous reports, the NHTSA has been investigating the issue with that system as well. The U.S. Justice Department is also probingTesla over safety concerns and claims from the company regarding its autopilot system and Full Self-Driving feature as well.
