The short answer

NHTSA received Tesla, Inc.’s report on Nov 1, 2022. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 26, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

When using the incorrect mirrors, the driver may misjudge the distance of other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.

Tesla, Inc.

(Tesla) is recalling certain 2021 Model S exterior side rearview mirrors, part numbers: 1622232-00-B and 1622233-00-B.

The driver side exterior rearview mirrors are convex (curved glass) and the passenger side mirrors do not include the “Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear” etched warning.

As such, these mirrors fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, “Rear Visibility.”

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
