Tesla’s 2023 car recalls significantly reduced

According to news on October 23, Tesla successfully resolved a recall incident from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) through software updates, which further demonstrates Tesla’s continuous improvement of vehicle production quality. The latest data shows that Tesla has significantly reduced the number of vehicle recalls this year, from millions last year to hundreds of thousands.

According to NHTSA data, Tesla recalled 3.8 million vehicles in 2022, but as of 2023, Tesla has only recalled approximately 439,000 vehicles. According to a recent report from Barron's, Tesla is expected to recall about 550,000 vehicles by the end of the year.

So far, all automakers have recalled more than 16 million vehicles in 2023, while the total number of recalls in 2022 reached 19 million. Although Tesla's recall rate is slightly above average in 2022, it is expected to have lower recall rates this year.

Tesla’s recall last week involved 55,000 Models X car, the cause was a faulty controller that failed to detect or display a low brake fluid level message. However, Tesla adopted an OTA software update that successfully solved the problem without requiring owners to send the vehicle to a service center for repair.

While some of Tesla's past recalls have required owners to visit a service center for repairs, many have not involved actual vehicle repairs, which has prompted some criticism of the use of the term "recall." Tesla CEO Elon Musk Musk has also repeatedly criticized the misuse of the term "recall" in some cases, calling it "completely wrong" in a tweet in February this year.
