Tesla Model S 2018: problemas, quejas y retiros

Muchas menos Muy pocas quejas recientes para juzgar

La NHTSA ha recibido 128 quejas de propietarios sobre el Tesla Model S 2018, es decir 14,8 por año en circulación: muchas menos quejas de lo habitual para un vehículo de su edad (índice de quejas 0,35; 1,00 es el promedio de todos los vehículos seguidos). Entre los 73 vehículos del año-modelo 2018 que seguimos, ocupa el puesto 22 por menos quejas al año. Frente a otros modelos Tesla, su tasa es un 78 % menor; frente a otros Vehículos eléctricos, es un 74 % menor.

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 2018-06-06 y el 2025-07-01. Mediana entre el incidente y la presentación: 11 días.

The rearview image may not immediately display when the vehicle begins to reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Riesgo: A delayed rearview camera image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

Solución: Tesla will perform an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 17, 2022. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-22-00-004.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:AUTONOMOUS/SELF DRIVING:SOFTWARE Número 22V037000 · 2022-01-27 · Corrección remota

Resumen: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2016-2022 Model S and Model X, 2017-2022 Model 3, and 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles. The "rolling stop" functionality available as part of the Full Self-Driving (Beta) software may allow the vehicle to travel through an all-way stop intersection without first coming to a stop.

Riesgo: Failing to stop at a stop sign can increase the risk of a crash.

Solución: Tesla will perform an over-the-air (OTA) software update that disables the "rolling stop" functionality, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 28, 2022. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-22-00-001.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH Número 21V00B000 · 2021-12-21

Resumen: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2014-2021 Model S vehicles. The front trunk latch assembly may be misaligned, preventing the secondary hood latch from engaging. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 113, "Hood Latch System."

Riesgo: If the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could open unexpectedly, obstructing the driver's view and increasing the risk of a crash.

Solución: Tesla Service will inspect and reposition the latch assembly as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 18, 2022. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-21-11-003.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA Número 21V846000 · 2021-10-29 · Corrección remota

Resumen: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2017-2021 Model S, Model 3, Model X, and 2020-2021 Model Y vehicles operating software version 2021.36.5.2. A communication error may cause false forward-collision warning (FCW) or unexpected activation of the automatic emergency brake (AEB) system.

Riesgo: Unexpected activation of the AEB system may cause the car to stop suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.

Solución: Tesla Service has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. The recall began October 25, 2021. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-21-00-004.

BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE Número 21V035000 · 2021-01-29

Resumen: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2012-2018 Tesla Model S and 2016-2018 Model X vehicles with a center display equipped with a NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor and an 8GB eMMC NAND flash memory device. When the 8GB eMMC NAND flash memory device for the center display reaches lifetime wear, the eMMC controller will no longer be able to maintain the integrity of the filesystem, causing a failure in some of the center display functions.

Riesgo: The eMMC controller wear-out condition can cause the loss of the rearview camera display, defrost/defog control settings, and exterior turn signal lighting, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.

Solución: Owners should ensure their vehicles are operating firmware release 2020.48.48.12 or newer, which will alert owners if the eMMC is approaching lifetime wear. Tesla will notify owners, and will replace the VCM daughterboard with one containing an enhanced eMMC controller, free of charge. The recall began March 29, 2021. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-21-21-001.
