Tesla Model 3 2018: problemas, quejas y retiros

Muchas más Constante

La NHTSA ha recibido 1.008 quejas de propietarios sobre el Tesla Model 3 2018, es decir 116,2 por año en circulación: muchas más quejas de lo habitual para un vehículo de su edad (índice de quejas 2,76; 1,00 es el promedio de todos los vehículos seguidos). Entre los 73 vehículos del año-modelo 2018 que seguimos, ocupa el puesto 67 por menos quejas al año. Frente a otros modelos Tesla, su tasa es un 75 % mayor; frente a otros Vehículos eléctricos, es un 106 % mayor.

Las cifras se normalizan por tiempo en circulación, no por ventas: un modelo popular genera más reportes que uno raro, y las quejas no se verifican una por una. Cómo contamos

Quejas presentadas entre el 2018-05-04 y el 2026-08-31. Mediana entre el incidente y la presentación: 9 días.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS Número 26V507000 · 2026-08-05

Resumen: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2017-2023 Model 3 and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles. The headlight low beams may be too bright and exceed the maximum light output. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Riesgo: Headlight low beams that are too bright can reduce visibility for oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Solución: The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 3, 2026. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-24-17-003.

In certain circumstances when Autosteer is engaged, the prominence and scope of the feature's controls may not be sufficient to prevent driver misuse of the SAE Level 2 advanced driver-assistance feature.

Riesgo: In certain circumstances when Autosteer is engaged, and the driver does not maintain responsibility for vehicle operation and is unprepared to intervene as necessary or fails to recognize when Autosteer is canceled or not engaged, there may be an increased risk of a crash.

Solución: Tesla will release an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 10, 2024. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-23-00-008.

Riesgo: A lateral link separation could shift the wheel alignment, causing instability and increasing the risk of a crash.

Solución: Tesla Service will tighten or replace the lateral link fasteners as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 30, 2023. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-23-31-001. This recall is an expansion of previous recall number 21V-835.

STEERING:AUTOMATED/ADAPTIVE STEERING Número 23V085000 · 2023-02-15 · Corrección remota

Resumen: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2016-2023 Model S, Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving Beta (FSD Beta) software or pending installation. The FSD Beta system may allow the vehicle to act unsafe around intersections, such as traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution. In addition, the system may respond insufficiently to changes in posted speed limits or not adequately account for the driver's adjustment of the vehicle's speed to exceed posted speed limits.

Riesgo: FSD Beta software that allows a vehicle to exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner increases the risk of a crash.

Solución: Tesla will release an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 15, 2023. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-23-00-001.
