So this begs the question, why are Tesla vehicles always getting recalled?
UPDATE: 11/18/22
As of this week, Tesla has issued 18 recalls in 2022.
Today the NHTSAconfirmeda Model X recall over a passenger airbag problem corrected by a software update.
Earlier this month, a quick OTA update patched asoftware issue affecting power steering.
Most Tesla recalls are not hardware problems.
Tesla is certainly not the only one with a heavy list of recalls.
Yes, Software Recalls Are Still Recalls
Automotive recalls aren’t quite the same these days.
Tesla has issued software updates for almost every single recall.
Why So Many Tesla Recalls?
Being able to address recalls through an update makes things fast, easy, and more importantly, affordable.
Unfortunately, that’s part of the problem.
It’ll only work in Park.

Honestly, though, it should have never worked unless a car was in Park.
Is There a Solution?
Whether that’s passing new regulations or changing the system.

Again, regulators can’t check the software before it goes out, so maybe something needs to change.
