Summary

Tesla, Inc. "Tesla" is recalling certain 2021-2022 Model S, Model X, and 2022 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles operating certain firmware releases. The infotainment central processing unit "CPU" may overheat during the preparation or process of fast-charging, causing the CPU to lag or restart.
