## What the record says

- **Product**: TESLA MODEL X (2021) - Recall 22V063000
- **Reason**: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Model S, Model X, Model Y, and 2017-2022 Model 3 vehicles. The Boombox function allows sounds to be played through an external speaker while the vehicle is in motion, which may obscure the Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) sounds. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles." Pedestrians may be unaware of an approaching vehicle if the PWS sounds are obscured, increasing the risk of a crash.
- **Classification**: Not supplied
- **Recalling firm**: Tesla, Inc.
- **Quantity**: 578607
- **Agency-reported status**: Published safety recall
