Tesla Inc. will recall 53,822 of its cars due to a feature that may allow the car to slowly roll through intersections without coming to a complete stop, it was reported today.<\/p>\n

In a letter<\/a> to Tesla made public today, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the recalled vehicles include the 2016-2022 Model S and Model X, the 2017-2022 Model 3, and the 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles, all of which run Full Self-Driving (Beta) software. The NHTSA added that not completely stopping at an intersection \u201ccan increase the risk of a crash.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Full Self-Driving mode in Tesla cars is a more advanced software than the company\u2019s more common \u201cAutopilot\u201d software, but despite what the names suggest, neither of these technologies means a car can be trusted to drive itself safely all the time. Last year, the California Department of Motor Vehicles said it was investigating Tesla<\/a> over what it said were misleading terms for the two types of software. Nonetheless, Tesla chief Elon Musk has always made it clear that the cars shouldn\u2019t drive themselves without any human interaction at all.<\/p>\n

The NHTSA said that Tesla will now perform an over-the-air software update to disable the rolling stop feature. It was introduced last year in a limited number of full-self-driving cars which came with three modes: \u201cChill,\u201d \u201cAverage,\u201d or \u201cAssertive\u201d. While using the latter mode, Tesla said the cars may \u201cperform more frequent lane changes, will not exit passing lanes, and may perform rolling stops.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a document submitted by the NHTSA, it was said that a car can go through an \u201call-way-stop intersection at a speed from 0.1 mph up to 5.6 mph without first coming to a complete stop\u201d but only if the road has a maximum speed limit of 30 mph and there are no \u201crelevant\u201d vehicles or people or bicycles around.<\/p>\n

Tesla said it is not aware of any accidents related to this feature, but it will disable it and notify the people affected by March 22 this year. Speaking about the issue on Twitter, Musk said that \u201cthere were no safety issues\u201d with the function, adding, \u201cThe car simply slowed to ~2 mph & continued forward if clear view with no cars or pedestrians.\u201d<\/p>\n
