This time, a window may close with excessive force if it fails to detect obstructions, posing a risk of injury.
Tesla is recalling 7,301 Model Y SUVs produced in 2025, following identification of a software defect in the driver’s side window’s automatic protection system.
The recall, issued by Australia’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts, warns that the window may close with excessive force if it fails to detect obstructions, posing a risk of injury.
The latest recall is a perfect example of the dual-edge of automotive digitization, because while software allows for rapid, remote fixes, it also introduces new layers of vulnerability.
