You mean Toyota? Or is Telsa implied? Model 3 had 15 recalls in 2020, 14 in 2021, 9 in 2022 with basics like "One or both taillights may intermittently fail to illuminate."
- beambot 4y agoWhat fraction of the recalls were fixed via OTA software updates?
- ggreer 4y agoFor my 2020 Model 3, all but one of them. There was a recall to replace a cable in the trunk that could break, disabling the backup camera.[1] I still haven’t taken mine in to get the free replacement, but my backup camera has been fine. 1. https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/every-single-tesla-model-3-recalled-to-fix-backup-camera-a4388327487/ https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/every-si...
- leesec 4y agoMost (all?) of these 'recalls' were fixed over the air

- leesec 4y agoThey're not but OK. Also what you posted agreed with what I posted.
- readthenotes1 4y agoThey are just another vehicle manufacturer that fixes many recalls OTA without making you take time off work and go into the shop so they can upsell you on something else? That seems kind of unusual to me, but I drive a 22 year old car.
- ajross 4y agoAll. At least for the Y since summer of 2021. There's a spectrum of car recalls from "we'll push it in the next update" to "bring it in or die". FWIW, battery replacements really aren't that far to the right. The worst possible case is a battery fire, and those really aren't very dangerous in context (e.g. would you rather your car burn, or your powertrain or brakes fail suddenly?). But they are extremely expensive for the manufacturer if they involve replacements. Not good business news for Ford if so, but we don't know yet.
