    Share:

    In plain language

    This recall affects certain 2020-2024 Tesla Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Model Y vehicles in Canada. The hood latch assembly could fail, and the warning light may not show if the hood is unlatched. This could cause the hood to open suddenly while driving, blocking the driver's view and increasing the risk of a crash. Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to fix this issue.

    What to do
