The power window devices and controls fail to comply with federal safety requirements

Tesla is recalling more than 1 million vehicles due to a problem with its power window safety controls. 

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the window automatic reversal system may not be able to detect an obstruction, leading to injury if something is in the way while the window is closing. 

The power window devices and controls fail to comply with “Power-Operated Window Systems” federal requirements.  

The recall impacts 1,096,762 vehicles and includes certain 2017-2022 Model 3, 2020-2021 Model Y, and 2021-2022 Model S and Model X vehicles. 

Affected vehicles are expected to be fixed with an over-the-air software update and owners are expected to be notified by Nov. 15. 

Tesla has been the focus of several recalls over the past year, as concerns about its Full Self-Driving software grow. 

A California resident  this week filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer citing it “deceived and misled consumers regarding the current abilities of its ADAS technology and by representing that it was perpetually on the cusp of perfecting that technology and finally fulfilling its promise of producing a fully self-driving car.” 

In August, A Model 3 owner sued Tesla over so-called “phantom braking” seeking class-action status, saying the company knowingly sold defective vehicles.

The company has issued eight recalls over the past nine months, which typically are resolved by over-the-air software updates:
