Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Tesla is recalling certain 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles and 2021-2022 Model 3, Model S, and Model X vehicles due to a software error affecting the heat pump. The error may cause a valve to open unintentionally and trap refrigerant in the evaporator, which reduces defrosting performance and can decrease driver visibility, potentially increasing crash risk.
Tesla will provide a free over-the-air software update to fix the issue. Owners who received notification letters mailed on April 1, 2022, should contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 for the update, referencing recall number SB-22-18-002.
