Tesla recalls nearly 12,000 U.S. vehicles over software communication error

The Hindu  

Tesla Inc is recalling nearly 12,000 U.S. vehicles sold since 2017 because a communication error may cause a false forward-collision warning or unexpected activation of the emergency brakes, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday. NHTSA said Tesla "uninstalled FSD 10.3 after receiving reports of inadvertent activation of the automatic emergency braking system" and then "updated the software and released FSD version 10.3.1 to those vehicles affected." The recall comes after NHTSA last month asked Tesla why it had not issued a recall to address software updates made to its Autopilot driver-assistance system to improve the vehicles' ability to detect emergency vehicles. Tesla said the issue was prompted by a software communication disconnect between two onboard chips that prompted an issue that could produce "negative object velocity detections when other vehicles are present."
