Nov. 19, 2022, 5:46 PM UTCWASHINGTON, Nov 19 — Tesla is recalling more than 321,000 vehicles in the United States because tail lights may intermittently fail to illuminate, the company said in a filing made public Saturday.Model X cars in the United States over an issue that may cause the front passenger air bag to deploy incorrectly, which sent its shares down almost 3% to a near two-year low.
Texas-based Tesla said it will deploy an over-the-air update to correct the rear light issue and said it has no reports of any crashes or injuries related to the recall. The company said the recall followed customer complaints it became aware of in late October, largely from foreign markets, claiming vehicle tail lights were not illuminating.
The investigation found in rare cases the lights may intermittently not work due to an anomaly that may cause false fault detections during the vehicle wake-up process. Tesla said it had received three warranty reports over the issue.in 2022 covering more than 3.7 million vehicles including four callbacks in November, according to NHTSA data.
Be prepared Tesla engineers, that’s bad code. CC elonmusk
the right rear tail light was flashing on and off when he was doing a right turn. HE WAS TURNING LEFT.
IwriteOK Light issues or cars that start on fire?
IwriteOK An interrupter switch on the brake pedal, a battery, and some lightbulbs. Simple, reliable, and time-tested. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
IwriteOK Gonna have to get hardcore code to make the lights turn on
Elmo can't even light a lightbulb......I bet it's somehow Edison fault.....
crippled_giraff Come on, you can't expect Tesla to have competent electrical engineering.........
IwriteOK to be fair, turning a light off and on with a switch is one of the great challenges of electronics and computer science
turttle63 IRONIC. THEIR CAR COMPANY OWNER FAILS TO ILLUMINATE, TOO.
IwriteOK Also because they are shittily made cars.
IwriteOK Would you look at that? More regulatory failures. I expect nothing more from this company.
The future is taillightsless you peasants!
it’s an Over the Air software update. Calm down Elon haters. ElonGoat
The tail lights, like the owner of the company, are dim.
Call Pete Buttigieg
Get the story straight. This is an over the air fix.
Clearly Tesla doesn’t advertise with NBC and accordingly you refer to an update as a recall. I wonder how Apple would refer to their upgrades and patches?
There's been recalls on everything. You really go after Musk. It's quite sad for you. Are you going to post Ford, Kia recalls too? Or just keep posting Tesla and Traditional Marriage ♉ 💩?
🎼🎵get this shit off the roads🎶
Haha it’s just an Over the Air software update
Vox populi, vox dei
Oops. Elon should stick to the day job !!
Is this correcting Elon Musk’s hindsight?
I would buy the car with all its fault for one reason, over-the-air updates. Being able to repair,new functions or upgrade your car using a network connection is revolutionary whether you are driving and EV or ICE vehicle. That alone is 'worth the price of admission'.
That's a very responsible company. Let's talk about Volkwagon Lieing about emission standards failing US EMISSIONS. Pollution. And the democrats taking kickbacks to make it dissappear.
It’s like getting an over the air update for software for your iPhone. It’s seamless and happens wherever your car happens to be - just like a phone update.
Can’t even get tail lights to work. Not very trust inspiring.
Go ahead NBC turn that into a hate crime you have proved you can turn anything into a hate crime.
Funny I never see a tweet from NBC about any other car company recall ....it's almost like NBC is bias
Yeah, I got the recall notice. They also fixed the problem with an over-the-air update before anyone even knew there was a recall.
NBC is DNC fake news StayWoke
The worst cars ever! They should just sell the battery patent to real car manufacturers who actually know what they are doing instead of this carton box on wheels!
BenjaminGoggin would be making you look bad if all of your journos weren't the same god damn liars.
These self-driving Teslas should be required to be manufactured with several large orange flashing lights to warn other drivers to stay at a safe distance from them on roads and highways. We have the right to know which cars do not have drivers in the event of emergencies.
Not to offend or worry those or him, he worried about a blue bird at the moment. Although i must say that Teslas better start wearing a front license plates. GregAbbott_TX 1 in 3 Teslas dont have front license plates on Texas roads.
A failure to illuminate is the broader problem.
this is a software update in your comfy garage.
IAmSophiaNelson 🤦🏻♀️
REAR lights from the latest fascist pain in the a$$!
Now do Ford you absolute losers.
which one is more dangerous?
recall or malfunction update
Over the air updates prevent drivers from having to return their cars. Why are we still using the term “recall” for software updates?
IAmSophiaNelson Seems he can’t keep the lights on at Tesla or Twitter.
Elon is suspending anti-fascist voices such as chadloder, who was working on a BIG Twitter data breach story‼️ FreeChadLoder
Ooooopsie those seem important
Working on the metaphor here
Not the shoddy FSD tho… don’t ban me Elon please
Elon is a dim bulb too
Over the air update no big deal
I guess nobody at Tesla knows how to code?
Who’s Funnier?
Teslas are 💩 anyway.
Their recall is a software update😂
Please let AOC know!!!!
Ooops again!
There was an accident, i think in China. Tesla brakes didnt work and keept accelerating. Dont know much about it but the timing of this is funny.
CL2Empower ooh sounds deadly lol
PortlandEsther They’re garbage on wheels
Meanwhile the turn signals on BMWs haven't worked for years.
Yet another network not doing there job... Man journalists these days bunch of bought off hack jobs. Come on NBC why don't you come clean and tell us who you really work for.
It’s soooo inconvenient for this “recall” to be fixed while I’m asleep tonight
NBC fired the reporter that did video clip news account on Pelosi's gay affair with the guy in the underwear at 2:00 a.m. NBC reporter was trying to do his job reporting Pelosi should pay the man prostitution agreement NBC reporter should get his job back NBC does not like truth
selltesla
Bahaha
There’s better EV options.
Tesla are overpriced bad cars. Glad Elon Musk’s erratic behavior was a turn off for me before I bought one.
Clearly, software is not ElonMusk's wheelhouse.
Ooops!
Fake news?
Should we just start calling these things Deloreans?
Quality issue?
rolandsmartin You better hope that while driving at high speeds there is no computer glitch.
Stable geniuses sure do make shitty cars.
Shitty car! BoycottTesla ElonIsDesperate
Quantity over quality, money over people’s lives and well being
Nuff said
Doesn’t sound like breaking news, recalls happen all of the time

Ain’t buying no Tesla that’s fo sho! elonmusk TeslaShitCar
Not one of these car will be seen by a mobile/service center technician. I’ll be sleeping while mine is fixed :-)
awelab1956 Tesla is unsafe for human life.
As usual spreading misinformation “ Tesla updates software “ is the headline. No wonder no one trusts you guys anymore.
Umm....
TheDeepDive_ca This tiny little issue as Musk focuses on taunting Trump to return.
We need to ban these cars from the streets of New York. Only a matter of time before they kill another pedestrian
Just curious as to how a Tesla recall works, since there are no dealerships.
TheDeepDive_ca $145 inbound.
Maybe using engineers from Tesla isn’t the bright idea.
Great job this guy's doing.
Ohhh that’s why they all catch fire illumination
isn't that like 50% of them?
Can you do ota update for them whompy wheels too?
All his cars have qa problems. Shocking. Def no Toyota. When Toyota does electric is going to go downhill for this niche disaster bc Elon is declining
Yeah but the flames will help.
Recalls happen to every automobile manufacturer on the planet
Yeah, TheJusticeDept this guy also trust took over America's social media company where he's wreaking havoc seems like a trend
Elon Musk is not having a good year.
VoteBluePA So you work your ppl to the ground and it still didn’t work?
Fact Check this elonmusk 🤣😆😂
Basic function of every car is that the tail lights operate. Seems Tesla cars, like Twitter, are in a state of malfunction. Musk
Hey Your Tail Light is brocken, Yeah trueee i have it in drive by walk seen, here Your online Ticket, from my Brand New Smartphone to Your Brand new Auto Board Computer, wenn you pay the online Ticket, you get Your broken Tail Light again Unlocked repaired.check Your Mails.
4th para down: this 'recall' will be done with an over the air update. Lol you guys
Let’s see if this tweet survives Elon’s Twitter police.
Typical Elon, he just expected them to work.
It’s called a software update.
Tesla quality sucks
Shitty cars
Tail lights are only there for other drivers to see you disappearing down the road.
These things are shit
Doreltwttt aiuto
you can´t recall rockets if they fail ^^ Maybe this is the only company who is not going bankrupt. Thanks to Elon Musk
Sell $TSLA right NOW!
Maybe this Loser can sell steaks, start a university, or run a casino like the other Loser.
NBC News is an OVER THE AIR UPDATE really a recall? - this is blatend market manipulation on your side!
thereidout
thereidout And short out and cause a fire? Just wondering.
thereidout All of Elon Musk’s companies are having problems
Tesla is a fraud
The real illumination was the car that exploded along the way
So cool. Apple just recalled my iPhone as well. All fixed with an over the air update though, just like my car.
This happened to my model3 in the UK. I was stopped by the Police because of this. I had to perform a hard reset to get them back on. Will the UK be getting this update?
This is fixed via an online update, it's not a physical recall
Elon Musk is so tired of winning!
Some viewing pleasure for you today:
This had nothing to do w the decline on Friday squawksquare . Twitter noise remains the only reason there is no buyers. Just sellers/shorting of TSLA.
Tesla doesn't need to spend money on marketing. The MSM and their minions are doing it for free.
‘Texas-based Tesla said it will deploy an over-the-air’… so fixed.recalling what exactly?
So, Twitter and Tesla having problems. Should all worry about Space-X rocket exploding on the launch pad?
As usual, an over-the-air update of the software... No one needs to run to services... to beg attention from the dealer...
Oh big surprise nbc is after click bait headlines again 🤥😤
Queue all the butt hurt liberals 3,2,1…
NBC fired the reporter that was reporting on Pelosi and his gay lover fight at 2:00 in the morning drinking and their underwear Nancy must have called NBC and threatened them cuz they fired him and took the video clip down Democrat power whatever happened to his DWI
Tesla is going down.
tell me you don't hire any Black people without telling me
Meanwhile, their CEO is tweeting 'what's your favorite color'
.elonmusk down real real bad.
yea.. over the air update. This is not relevant. Perhaps GM should finish replacing those batteries that just burst into flame.. or perhaps ALL the gas cars that carry an explosive death trap of gas with them.
Not the only thing he’s made that fails to illuminate.
Weird considering how great elonmusk seems to be at quality control and managing people
Luckily elonmusk is a laser focused problem solver 🥴 TaxTheRich
Doors lock you in, lights don’t light, wheels that lock. It what way does this qualify as a “car”?
Tesla really is 21st century tech married with 1980s GM build quality
Elon Musk cannot run a functioning or productive businesses. Billionaires are a policy failure. Right-wing ideology is a disaster.
Shoddy elonmusk. Maybe your 'code reviews' should actually look at CODE.
This needs a poll! Who thinks Tesla's need tail lights? I VOTE NO!
When something like this car is COMPLETELY electric, it’s really difficult to get electricity to run to every single part (stuff towards the back is hardest of all obv) I’m sure they’ll figure that bug out soon. Elon is smart.
It’s a software update… this is getting ridiculous
Would $44B in research helped?
lmao my 1996 jalopy worked better
fascist BoycottTesla
Do you reckon the bloke in charge of tail lights was at tail end of 80 hour week when he signed them off
would rather drive a nissan leaf
Same vibe, except with the cars if it doesn't work you might die.
Lol
Elon's texting the Twitter engineers who won't come back. 'Hey you want to work for Tesla? Send me a code example of when you fixed a tail light subroutine.'
Tesla is a very promising company with a bad CEO...
ColleenHenley Teslas put Elons ego above safety. They don’t care.
NBC trying to take down their competition…won’t work you woke losers!
Poor Elon. Trouble with Telsa and TWITTER. 🤔 HMM!
peaceandteachin And possibly catch on fire and explode
Tesla is the new MAGA red hat.
If you drive 200mph you don't need taillights.
cactus__flower_ lolol
Over-the-Air Update while they do occur 'over the air' do not occur the next day. For example, the issue/Recall with the Windows is going on months-old and is still not fixed on Model 3 cars? Why because it is really a hardware issue which they refuse to spend money on.
Bankruptcy awaits.
elonmusk has been busy playing troll on Twitter, so the rest is going to shits!
Just like Trump and Musk, all three have a short circuit in the main frame.
FaithTwenty20 Free speech...destroy Tesla! Sell and boycott.
It’s such a piece of garbage.
Maybe Musket shouldn't be spreading his attention so thin? He just kind of floats from one grand scheme to the next .. leaving the previous ones to crash and burn (in some instances literally).
Lol
he's in big trouble
Same things happening with Twitter
Tweet if your car blinks
Elizabe29599604 It’s a feature, the failure of the tail lights occurs right before the vehicle internally combusts.
Maybe Felon Musk can start a Twitter poll asking Tesla owners if broken taillights have created any safety issues? 🙄
Nice job elonmusk !
Elon will fix it by doing some hardcore wiring reviews.
The recall is an over the air update that will be done while most people are sleeping. Not a big deal at all.
FAKE FAKE NEWS: OVER THE AIR UPDATES HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED NBC U LIARS!
درودتان باد با تولیدات عالی که همه جوره جان انسانها براتون اهمیت داره، درود بر شرفتان با کمپانی عالی تان که جان انسانها در درجه اول براتون اهمیت داره بعد زیبایی برند و دوام و اسایش در ان ما ایرانی ها که نداریم ولی کاش ازاد بشیم تا ازاین برندها استفاده کنیم درود
Elmo looks like he’s managing Tesla just as well as Twitter, meaning it’s failing spectacularly.
Musk=Trump.
That’s not good the company is broke he spent all his money on twitter
FAKE NEWS — just an over the air update!!!
Man invented fire millions of years ago, yet we can’t keep a simple taillight illuminated?
