The NHTSA said last month it was investigating after receiving reports of 20 crashes involving vehicles that had the Autopilot software updates installed under Tesla’s recall

in a probe into the automaker’s December recall of more than 2 million vehicles to install new Autopilot safeguards.

The NHTSA recall investigation covers models Y, X, S, 3 and Cybertruck vehicles in the U.S. equipped with Autopilot produced between the 2012 and 2024 model years. NHTSA wants comparative data from Tesla on the performance of vehicles after receiving the recall including the number of hands on wheel warnings issued.

NHTSA’s letter said the single-pull activation of Autopilot “is not the default setting on vehicles that received the remedy in the field” and testing “showed it was possible to make this change while driving.”
