Tesla is the first name when it comes to electric cars. According to many e-mobilists, the Americans build the best electric cars in the world. But that doesn’t mean that everything always runs smoothly. Hundreds of thousands of Teslas worldwide are affected by a current recall, including German Tesla drivers.
Huge recall at Tesla: Model S, 3, X and Y have to go to the workshop
While Tesla boss Elon Musk is telling the world that we will not be able to do without fossil fuels such as oil and gas in the long term, Tesla customers need to take a close look at their electric cars. There is a major recall underway across the world hundreds of thousands of Tesla vehicles.
A total of exactly 209,211 units are said to be included in the recall worldwide. 14,807 of these are said to be approved in Germany, according to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). Particularly bitter: All common Tesla series are affected. Both the figurehead Model S as well as the popular one style 3as well as the larger body versions Model X and Model Y have to stop by to visit the workshop – that’s not SEXY at all.
Affected are models with the Years of construction 2021 and 2022, i.e. the latest generations of Tesla. At the KBA, the recall is under reference number 011850, Tesla uses the code SB-22-00-009. The reason for the recall is the “insufficient cooling of the processors” in the affected e-cars. You can go to Failure of various vehicle systems lead, according to the federal authority.

It is unclear which systems can fail in electric cars
Exactly which systems may be affected is not explained further. In the event of a comprehensive processor failure as a result of massive overheating, one thing should be clear: In such a case, practically nothing works in the high-tech vehicles. Last year, Tesla had to recall more than 100,000 electric cars due to technical problems.
The solution is to bring a software update that can be installed in the workshop. According to the KBA, this should improve the utilization and management of the CPU temperature. Affected customers should contact Tesla or an authorized workshop directly. However, there can also be exceptions, since the error does not necessarily have to affect all units from the production period.
