Recall 22V037 covers 53,822 2016-2022 Tesla Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y vehicles with rolling-stop software. Tesla's free OTA update disables it.
Tesla is recalling 53,822 2016-2022 Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y vehicles because Full Self-Driving (Beta) included a rolling-stop function at all-way stop intersections. A vehicle that fails to stop at a stop sign increases crash risk, and Tesla will provide the free remedy.

What's wrong?
The affected part is Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Beta) software on 2016-2022 Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y vehicles. That software can control automated driving behavior when FSD Beta is enabled, including how the vehicle approaches an all-way stop intersection. At a stop sign, the expected job is simple: bring the vehicle to a complete stop before continuing.
The problem is the rolling stop setting inside certain firmware releases. When that setting was enabled and specific conditions were met, the vehicle was allowed to continue through an all-way stop at 0.1 mph up to 5.6 mph without first stopping. Those conditions included low vehicle speed, no relevant moving cars, pedestrians, or bicyclists detected near the intersection, enough visibility, and roads with speed limits of 30 mph or less.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is the vehicle's software behavior at the intersection, not a broken mechanical part that gives the driver a sound, vibration, smell, or warning light first.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
The rolling stop function lets the vehicle fail to make a full stop at a stop sign, increasing the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before this behavior occurs. Treat stop signs as full stops and schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Tesla dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016-2022 Tesla Model S, Model X, Model 3, or Model Y is included in this recall.
- Contact Tesla customer service to confirm the free over-the-air software update that disables rolling stop functionality.
- Reference recall number 22V037 and Tesla recall SB-22-00-001 when you call.
- Install the Tesla software update as soon as it is available for your vehicle.
- Avoid using Full Self-Driving (Beta) features until Tesla confirms the rolling-stop update is installed.
What happens at the repair
Tesla provides the recall repair through an over-the-air software update, so a service visit is not required for the software remedy. The update disables the Full Self-Driving (Beta) "rolling stop" function involved in this recall: vehicle travel through an all-way stop intersection without first coming to a stop. The remedy is free through firmware release 2021.44.30.15 or a later release. Tesla is not offering reimbursement for this campaign because there is no paid repair tied to the underlying condition.
