Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Tesla is recalling certain 2017-2022 Model 3 vehicles and 2020-2022 Model Y, Model X, and Model S vehicles because the Boombox function can play sounds through an external speaker while the vehicle is moving, which may block out the Pedestrian Warning System sounds that alert pedestrians to an approaching vehicle. This creates a safety risk where pedestrians may not hear the vehicle coming, potentially leading to crashes.
Tesla will fix this issue through a free over-the-air software update that disables the Boombox when the vehicle is in Drive, Neutral, or Reverse modes, including when using Summon or Smart Summon features. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 6, 2022. Affected owners should contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 to schedule the update, and can reference Tesla recall number SB-22-00-003.
