Tesla claims recalled touchscreens only expected to last 5-6 years

- shares Tesla has responded to a United States recall of failing touchscreens in 134,951 of its cars by arguing the units were only ever expected to last five to six years in the first place. The unusual defence came after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration – the US federal government s road safety agency – requested the electric car maker recall the 17-inch touchscreens found in its Model S sedan and Model X SUV. According to the recall notice, when the flash memory device for the centre display reaches lifetime wear , it will no longer be able to maintain the integrity of the filesystem, causing a failure in some of the center display functions .

Tesla to recall 135,000 vehicles in US

Tesla will recall about 135,000 Model S and X vehicles in the US after a months long investigation by NHTSA concluded their touch screens were defective. Tesla equipped certain Model S sedans from 2012 to 2018 and Model X crossovers from 2016 to 2018 with Nvidia processors that are prone to wearing out, the automaker said in a recall report cited by Bloomberg. The flaw can lead to the loss of rear view camera display and other issues. The report said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had sent a letter to Tesla last month saying it had determined the failures constituted a defect. While the company disagrees with the finding, it will voluntarily initiate a recall and replace memory devices within the processors.

Tesla recalls pre-2018 cars with malfunctioning touchscreens

Tesla recalls pre-2018 cars with malfunctioning touchscreens Rob Hull For Thisismoney.co.uk © Provided by This Is Money MailOnline logo Following a prolonged and arduous battle with regulators over claims of malfunctioning touchscreen systems in older cars, Tesla has issued a recall of almost 135,000 Model S and Model X electric vehicles in the US. The recall only applies to cars produced before March 2018 that are equipped with an 8GB embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) that may experience a malfunction due to accumulated wear . Incredibly, Tesla s legal vice president suggests that the touchscreen component in the older vehicles only had an expected life of five to six years and was never designed to match the lifespan of the cars themselves, despite the vehicles costing in excess of £50,000.

Tesla Recalls 135K Model S, Model X EVs Over Faulty Flash Memory

(Photo via Getty Images) Tesla has agreed to recall roughly 135,000 Model S and Model X electric vehicles due to faulty display consoles. The move comes less than three weeks after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requested a recall of 158,000 EVs, citing a potential safety-related defect concerning media control units in certain model year 2012-18 cars. At the heart of the problem is the Nvidia Tegra 3 processor s integrated 8GB eMMC NAND flash device, which gets overwritten each time the vehicle is started. Overwrite the drive enough times, and it will reach capacity and break down, causing Tesla s connected MCU to go blank. A vacant touch screen isn t the end of the world except when it controls certain aspects of driving performance, including loss of the rearview/backup camera and defogging/defrosting settings, as well as certain Autopilot and turn-signal functionality.
