Tesla is no stranger to “recalls,” especially when that recall is nothing more than a software update. However, the latest one is more extensive than usual. This week we learned that the NHTSA forced Tesla to recall more than 362,000 vehicles over its Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta software.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) alerted the automaker about an investigation into its driver assistance system. Regulators say FSD doesn’t obey certain traffic and safety laws, which could potentially lead to a crash.

According to the recall report, 362,758 vehicles in the United States using the FSD beta software will need a software update. The recall covers 2016-2023 Model S, Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles equipped with FSD Beta software.

Reading through the investigation, regulators say that Tesla’s software may turn through certain intersections during a “stale yellow traffic light,” may adjust its speed while traveling through certain variable speed zones, and could make lane changes out of some turn-only lanes to continue going straight.
