Tesla Overheating CPU Issue Leads To Massive EV Recall; Solution, Affected Models, and Other Details

Tesla's overheating CPU issue leads to a massive EV recall. Now, the giant automaker plans to fix the problem through another OTA (over-the-air) update, even though the problem is with the car's physical center screen.

"The infotainment central processing unit (CPU) may overheat during the preparation or process of fast-charging, causing the CPU to lag or restart," said that giant EV developer.

The electric carmaker added that the issue starts when drivers pre-condition their battery pack for Supercharging or when they are using the EV charging network.

Tesla further explained that the center display of its EV models might start overheating, leading to lagging and other screen issues.

Tesla Overheating CPU Issue Leads To Massive EV Recall

According to Electrek's latest report, the overheating CPU may lead to some serious issues that can endanger drivers.

Tesla explained that when an electric car's center screen lags, it can affect the gear selection, rearview camera image, warning lights, as well as windshield visibility control settings.

Once these features malfunction, car crash risk may increase. When it comes to the affected models, here are the Tesla units suffering from the overheating CPU issue:

• Tesla Model X 2021-2022
• Tesla Model Y 2022
• Tesla Model 3 2022
• Tesla Model S 2021-2022

Tesla confirmed that around 130,000 EV units would be recalled. If your electric car is one of the affected models, then the best thing you can do is to contact the automaker's official customer service via this number: 1-877-798-3752.

Other Tesla Recalls

Aside from the latest Tesla recall for overheating CPU, Fortune reported that the giant EV manufacturer also recently recollected around 48,000 Model 3 units in the United States.

On the other hand, the automaker recalled more than 14,000 EV units in China. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that these recalls happened due to a software issue, which prevents the miles-per-hour or kilometers-per-hour displays from appearing on the electric cars' digital speedometers.

Meanwhile, the Tesla Giga Berlin expansion is now expected to start after purchasing new land.

On the other hand, the previous Tesla Model 3 Performance track mode issue also led to another massive recall.
