Tesla recalled about 578,000 units.Problems where pedestrian warning sounds cannot be heard by using BOOMBOX while driving

Tesla has reported a new recall for over 578,000 units.The REUTERS reports that the target Tesla car may cancel the sound of the pedestrian warning system if you use a speaker "BOOMBOX" while driving.In the United States, EVs and hybrid vehicles are 18 / h for making sounds outside the car while driving..It is stipulated that when driving below 6 km, pedestrians must make a clear sound.Boombox uses a speaker for pedestrian warning.

Tesla does not have a public relations department, so it is not clear how to modify the recall problem, but if the EV is not in a parking state, the BOOMBOX function will be disabled.This problem should be solved by the OTA update, like recently announced recall projects.

For Tesla, this recall is the fourth in two weeks. All of these are minor ones that can be solved by modifying software. However, from the beginning of 2021, Tesla has filed 15 recalls with only four models, Model S / X / 3 / Y, for example, overriting the EMMC, a storage of the infotainment system. In some cases, it is incomplete, the back camera system breaks down, the adhesion of the root rim is incomplete, the bonding of the roof rim is inconvenient, the suspension parts are dropped, and the FSD / Autopilot system is used. The quality and safety of things that seem to hit the FSD system, do not stop due to a pause, can play the game while driving, and why you do not notice the problem at the stage of programming. We are exposing a wide range of concerns about posture.

The recall of BOOMBOX this time seems to be a part of the US Transportation Road Safety Bureau (NHTSA), which has increased the monitoring of Tesla.

By the way, in Japan, some of the functions provided by Tesla cars can no longer be used due to differences in legal and road environments, and BoomBox should be disabled, so the owner does not care.
