Plain-English summary
Tesla, Inc. is recalling certain 2023 Model S, Model X, and Model Y vehicles equipped with the full self-driving computer 4.0. The recall affects vehicles running software release version 2023.44.30 through 2023.44.30.6 or 2023.44.100. A total of 199,575 vehicles are affected by this recall.
