The recall suggests Tesla made a single Semi in the first two weeks of March; has it built any Semis since?
While the previousrecall required a visit to the Tesla service, the remedy for this one is an over-the-air software update. More specifically, the issue now is that the Semi's door closure warning can be dismissed, which means that an operator may be unaware of an unsecured door and begin driving, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.
As such, the vehicles included in the recall – 36 Semis – fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 206,"Door Locks and Door Retention Components."As a remedy, Tesla said in the NHTSA recall report that it has released an over-the-air software update, free of charge.
While this is a relatively minor issue, the recall actually sheds some light on the Tesla Semi production numbers, which the automaker has been quite secretive about sinceFor the first recall, Tesla said the 35 potentially affected Semi trucks were produced between November 30, 2022, and February 28, 2023. Now, for this second recall, Tesla says the 36 affected vehicles were made between November 30, 2022 and March 15, 2023.
This begs an obvious question: has Tesla built any Semis on its pilot line in Nevada since March 15? And it if has, were those vehicles not recalled because they were equipped with a newer software version that addressed the issue? These would be good questions to ask Tesla, but as you probably know, the EV maker does not have a PR department.
