Tesla has issued a recall for approximately 54000 vehicles due to a problem with its Full Self-Driving software.
Tesla is recalling Model S and Model X vehicles from 2016 to 2022, Model 3 sedans from 2017 to 2022, and Model Y SUVs from 2020 to 2022.
- Tesla is recalling roughly 54,000 of its vehicles and SUVs due to the fact that their "Full Self-Driving" systems allow them to pass past stop signs without coming to a complete stop.
- According to US safety inspectors' documentation, the EV manufacturer would disable the feature via an over-the-internet software update.
- Tesla's "rolling stop" technology allows vehicles to travel up to 5 miles per hour through intersections with all-way stop signs.
- Tesla vehicles will receive a firmware update in early February that will disable the rolling stops.
- Tesla is currently "beta testing" its "Full Self-Driving" software with a small group of drivers.

The speed limit is 6 mph. Tesla vehicles will receive a firmware update in early February that will disable the rolling stops. Tesla is recalling Model S sedans and Model X SUVs from 2016 to 2022, as well as Model 3 cars from 2017 to 2022 and Model Y SUVs from 2020 to 2022.
According to records from the US safety agency (NHTSA), Tesla agreed to recall its vehicles following two discussions with officials from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
However, no incidents or injuries have been reported as a result of the function, according to the EV manufacturer.

Tesla is currently "beta testing" its "Full Self-Driving" software with a small group of drivers. The business has stated, however, that the cars cannot fully drive themselves and that drivers must remain alert at all times and be prepared to take control if necessary.
Tesla has been under the radar of US safety inspectors for a long time because of its Autopilot technology, which has been involved in several collisions, the majority of which included a police vehicle. The automaker was also recently criticised for allowing passengers to play video games on the dashboard while the vehicle was in motion.
Following the NHTSA investigation, the carmaker agreed to deploy a software update that would block "Passenger Play" while the vehicle is in motion, preventing passengers and drivers from playing video games in a moving vehicle.
