Tesla Model 3 ‘recalled’ to fix another possible Australian compliance breach

AutoExec Summary

Tesla Australia has issued a recall notice for the 2019-2020 Tesla Model 3 due to a fault in the seat belt warnings that may not comply with Australian Design Rules (ADR). This follows a rule breach identified by Drive earlier this year, leading to halted deliveries and recalls of the 2024 Model 3. The recall, involving 331 vehicles, can be resolved through an over-the-air (OTA) software update. The issue pertains to the driver seat occupancy switch, which may cause the instrument cluster to fail in displaying seat belt warnings. If not addressed, this increases the risk of injury or death in an accident. Affected vehicles should update to software version 2024.20.3 or newer to comply with ADR 04/06.
