78 Investigations for 2013 Tesla Model S

The office of defects investigation (odi) upgraded pe21020 to ea22002 on june 8, 2022, to extend work and deepen the pe21020 crash analysis, to supplement that analysis with additional data, and to perform vehicle evaluations to understand how tesla’s autopilot system may exacerbate human factors or behavioral safety risks by undermining the effectiveness of the driver’s supervision. to support this work, odi collected additional crash information and assessed vehicle control authority, driver engagement technologies, and related human factors considerations associated with partial automation via analysis of peer vehicle data and hands-on vehicle evaluation, assessments from nhtsa human factors subject matter experts, and reviews of related publications dedicated to partial driving automation. autopilot is the simultaneous use of the features that tesla calls traffic-aware cruise control (tacc) and autosteer. tacc is a type of adaptive cruise control that, like traditional cruise control, maintains a set speed but also slows or accelerates as necessary to maintain the vehicle’s following distance from a vehicle in front. as designed, autosteer detects lane markings and the presence of other nearby vehicles and objects to keep the vehicle in its driving lane. autopilot is characterized by tesla as an sae level 2 (“l2 system”) partial driving automation system that provides driver assistance through steering, propulsion, and braking within a specified driving environment under direct supervision of the driver. l2 systems should be designed to support the driver’s need to monitor the system in response to the constantly changing driving environment and, if necessary, take over the dynamic driving task. to ensure sufficient driver engagement, vehicles with l2 systems should employ driver engagement systems and usage controls that are appropriate and sufficient for the l2 system design and driver expectations. odi completed an analysis of 956 crashes reported up to august 30, 2023. in approximately half (489) of those crashes, odi found: 1.) that there was insufficient data to make an assessment; 2.) the other vehicle was at fault; 3.) autopilot was found to not be in use; or 4.) the crash was otherwise unrelated to ea22002. of the remaining 467 crashes, odi identified trends resulting in three categories: collisions in which the frontal plane of the tesla struck another vehicle or obstacle with adequate time for an attentive driver to respond to avoid or mitigate the crash (211), roadway departures where autosteerwas inadvertently disengaged by the driver’s inputs (111), and roadway departures in low traction conditions such as wet roadways (145). odi observed this pattern across all tesla models and hardware versions. crash and human factors assessment showed that autopilot controls did not sufficiently ensure driver attention and appropriate use. at the same time, peer analysis and vehicle evaluations established that autopilot invited greater driver confidence via its higher control authority and ease of engagement. this mismatch of weak usage controls and high control authority was evident in these crash categories, which included indications of driver disengagement from the driving task. this mismatch was also evident in roadway departures when the system was engaged in low traction conditions outside of tesla’s recommendations.additional information regarding nhtsa’s crash analysis is available in the ea22002 file. odi reviewed these findings with tesla during several conversations in quarter 4 of 2023. on december 12, 2023, tesla filed a defect information report (dir) (recall 23v838) applicable to all tesla models produced and equipped with any version of its autopilot system. tesla’s dir described the functionality of this system, stated that the prominence and scope of the system’s controls may be insufficient to prevent driver misuse, and described a remedy to improve the effectiveness of driver warnings and to reduce m

From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. after prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. the rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. see 2016 blomquist report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. these "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.in some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. none of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. all takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. there have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.it is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. this means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. while no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. the research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. to date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. however, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.the office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. this investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). this investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

On december 19, 2019, nhtsa received a petition from mr. brian sparks requesting that the agency recall all [tesla] model s, model x, and model 3 vehicles produced from 2013 to the present due to sudden unintended acceleration (sua). in his petition and follow-up submissions, the petitioner identified a total of 232 non-duplicative complaints to nhtsa, including 203 reporting crashes. on january 13, 2020, nhtsa's office of defects investigation (odi) opened defect petition dp20-001 to evaluate the petitioner?s request. odi's evaluation included reviews of all complaints and supporting information referenced by the petitioner, as well as 14 additional complaints to nhtsa related to sua crash allegations that were either not selected by the petitioner or were submitted after the petitioner's most recent submission. the review also included analyses of available crash data (edr, tesla log data, and/or video data) the agency acquired as part of the evaluation.after reviewing the available data, odi has not identified evidence that would support opening a defect investigation into sua in the subject vehicles. in every instance in which event data was available for review by odi, the evidence shows that sua crashes in the complaints cited by the petitioner have been caused by pedal misapplication. there is no evidence of any fault in the accelerator pedal assemblies, motor control systems, or brake systems that has contributed to any of the cited incidents. there is no evidence of a design factor contributing to increased likelihood of pedal misapplication. the theory provided of a potential electronic cause of sua in the subject vehicles is based upon inaccurate assumptions about system design and log data.nhtsa is authorized to issue an order requiring notification and remedy of a defect if the agency?s investigation shows a defect in design, construction, or performance of a motor vehicle that presents an unreasonable risk to safety. 49 u.s.c. ?? 30102(a)(9), 30118. since the information before the agency is not indicative of a vehicle-based defect, it is unlikely that any investigation opened because of granting this petition would result in an order concerning the notification and remedy of a safety-related defect. therefore, upon full consideration of the information presented in the petition and the potential risks to safety, the petition is denied. the denial of this petition does not foreclose the agency from taking further action if warranted or the potential for a future finding that a safety-related defect exists based upon additional information the agency may receive.the reference numbers for the complaints to nhtsa cited by the petitioner can be found in the petition submission documents in the public file for dp20-001. those complaints and the 14 complaints odi added to its evaluation can be viewed at nhtsa.gov. the reference numbers for the complaints added by odi are: 11385350, 11383955, 11383233, 11383180, 11378492, 11378458, 11302076, 11299698, 11290006, 11190595, 11174504, 11115496, 11096644 and 11000097. the attached report, further detailing nhtsa?s reasons for denial of the petition, will be published in the federal register.

In a letter dated september 17, 2019, mr. edward chen petitioned the nhtsa to initiate a defect investigation of certain tesla model s and model x vehicles that received revised battery management software in one or more over-the-air (ota) updates from tesla, beginning in may 2019. the petitioner bases his request on vehicle fires that took place worldwide and ota software updates tesla made to the battery management system (bms) of certain tesla vehicles that resulted in loss of available vehicle mileage range and increased charging durations.on october 1, 2019, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened dp19-005 to evaluate the petitioner?s request. information provided by tesla in response to odi's information request letter for dp19-005 indicated that a firmware update that may limit maximum voltage was installed in certain my 2012 through 2016 model s vehicles (subject vehicles). the voltage limiting firmware is a dynamic algorithm that is enabled in vehicles with high supercharging use histories, which contributes to high usage stress to the high-voltage (hv) battery. tesla sold approximately 61,781 subject vehicles in the united states and, through august 2021, the voltage limiting firmware had been enabled in approximately 2,062 vehicles. through december 2020, odi identified 59 complaints from consumers alleging reductions in battery capacity (52) or charging speed (7) in the subject vehicles. log data from these vehicles showed that the voltage limiting firmware had been enabled in about 58 percent (30 of 52) of the complaints alleging range loss. subsequent updates have restored some or all of the battery capacity to vehicles affected by the voltage limiting firmware coupled with updates enhancing bms battery brick monitoring algorithms. none of the complaint vehicles have reported any thermal incidents or other safety hazards related to the hv battery.the five non-crash fires referenced in the petition include two fires that occurred in china in early 2019 involving vehicles that: 1) had recently completed supercharging sessions; 2) were at a high state-of-charge (soc) of the hv battery; 3) were parked with the battery cooling system shutoff; and 4) had histories of high-stress usage for the hv batteries. the three fires that occurred outside china did not involve the same fact patterns regarding vehicle state and charging history. the two fires that occurred in the united states include one involving a vehicle with no supercharging history that was driving when the fire occurred and another in which the origin of the fire was external to the hv battery. the fifth fire, which also originated external to the hv battery, involved a vehicle in germany that had been parked at a low soc for an extended period. to date, incidents of fires involving parked vehicles with recent supercharging and histories of high-stress use have only been observed in china, where high-stress use factors appear to be more common. nhtsa is authorized to issue an order requiring notification and remedy of a defect if the agency?s investigation shows a defect in the design, construction, or performance of a motor vehicle that presents an unreasonable risk to safety. 49 u.s.c. ?? 30102(a)(9), 30118. given the absence of any incidents in the united states related to fast charging, and the absence of any such incidents globally since may 2019, it is unlikely that an order concerning the notification and remedy of a safety-related defect would be issued due to any investigation opened as a result of granting this petition. therefore, upon full consideration of the information presented in the petition, and the potential risks to safety, th

On december 19, 2019, nhtsa received a petition from mr. brian sparks requesting that the agency "recall all [tesla] model s, model x, and model 3 vehicles produced from 2013 to the present" due to sudden unintended acceleration (sua). in his petition and follow-up submissions, the petitioner identified a total of 232 non-duplicative complaints to nhtsa, including 203 reporting crashes. on january 13, 2020, nhtsa's office of defects investigation (odi) opened defect petition dp20-001 to evaluate the petitioner’s request. odi's evaluation included reviews of all complaints and supporting information referenced by the petitioner, as well as 14 additional complaints to nhtsa related to sua crash allegations that were either not selected by the petitioner or were submitted after the petitioner's most recent submission. the review also included analyses of available crash data (edr, tesla log data, and/or video data) the agency acquired as part of the evaluation.after reviewing the available data, odi has not identified evidence that would support opening a defect investigation into sua in the subject vehicles. in every instance in which event data was available for review by odi, the evidence shows that sua crashes in the complaints cited by the petitioner have been caused by pedal misapplication. there is no evidence of any fault in the accelerator pedal assemblies, motor control systems, or brake systems that has contributed to any of the cited incidents. there is no evidence of a design factor contributing to increased likelihood of pedal misapplication. the theory provided of a potential electronic cause of sua in the subject vehicles is based upon inaccurate assumptions about system design and log data.nhtsa is authorized to issue an order requiring notification and remedy of a defect if the agency’s investigation shows a defect in design, construction, or performance of a motor vehicle that presents an unreasonable risk to safety. 49 u.s.c. §§ 30102(a)(9), 30118. since the information before the agency is not indicative of a vehicle-based defect, it is unlikely that any investigation opened because of granting this petition would result in an order concerning the notification and remedy of a safety-related defect. therefore, upon full consideration of the information presented in the petition and the potential risks to safety, the petition is denied. the denial of this petition does not foreclose the agency from taking further action if warranted or the potential for a future finding that a safety-related defect exists based upon additional information the agency may receive.the reference numbers for the complaints to nhtsa cited by the petitioner can be found in the petition submission documents in the public file for dp20-001. those complaints and the 14 complaints odi added to its evaluation can be viewed at nhtsa.gov. the reference numbers for the complaints added by odi are: 11385350, 11383955, 11383233, 11383180, 11378492, 11378458, 11302076, 11299698, 11290006, 11190595, 11174504, 11115496, 11096644 and 11000097. the attached report, further detailing nhtsa’s reasons for denial of the petition, will be published in the federal register.

The subject vehicles (sv), model years 2012-2013 tesla model s, are emerging technology electric vehicles using a high voltage battery (hvb) to provide propulsion energy. the hvb uses lithium-ion cells combined in 60 or 85 kwh capacities, and a control system that monitors the hvb and its liquid cooling system. the hvb is positioned across the width of the vehicle between the front and rear wheels and lies above a flat aluminum pan that forms the bottom of the sv's chassis. about two thirds of the svs were manufactured with an air-assisted suspension system that actively controls ride height, including automatically lowering the vehicle at higher speeds.two separate incidents in 2013 resulted in significant fires involving the svs, one in washington (oct. 13) and one in tennessee (nov. 13). both incidents involved active suspension equipped vehicles operating at highway speeds and reduced ride height running over debris in the roadway. in both incidents, the struck objects penetrated the aluminum pan at the forward area of the battery, damaging the lithium ion cells of the hvb. the sv's information display notified the driver of decreased battery performance and ultimately instructed the driver to stop the vehicle. the svs were able to travel ~.8 and 1.8 miles after impact respectively. in both cases, smoke appeared shortly after the vehicle stopped and a fire developed in the hvb. thermal runaway occurred in the hvb cells. the fires destroyed the vehicles but did not result in injuries.in the tennessee incident, the object struck by the sv was determined to be a three-ball hitch that apparently fell from another vehicle. tesla performed a series of tests reconstructing this incident and determined that a similar shaped object contacting the forward edge of the hvb could be "tripped" and potentially penetrate the hvb case. as the object's opposite end digs into the pavement, vehicle momentum causes the object to impart upward force into the case, described by tesla as a "piking effect". tesla's testing reproduced damage similar to that seen in the tennessee incident, and also showed that a change in ride height strategy, which was implemented in nov. 2013 via a telematic software update to prevent the svs lowering at legal roadway speeds, mitigates the risk of battery compartment penetration when a three-ball hitch is struck.the object struck in the washington incident was not identified. more severe damage to the incident vehicle and the unknown shape of the object raised concerns regarding the effectiveness of raising the ride height for objects other than a three-ball hitch. in a mar. 10, 2014 meeting with odi, tesla stated it would conduct a free-of-charge service campaign to modify the svs by adding three new components to the vehicle's undercarriage to protect the hvb. a low-hanging transverse member and an additional underbody plate would be mounted forward of the hvb case and a third plate would overlap the leading edge of the case. testing conducted by tesla demonstrated that these modifications improved protection from debris impacts.odi was aware of two fires stemming from road debris impacts when the investigation began. according to tesla, the sv fleet had accumulated ~90m miles of service at the time it revised the ride height strategy. no further incidents have been identified, and tesla reports the model s fleet has traveled an additional ~90m miles. odi believes impacts with road debris are normal and foreseeable. in this case, tesla's revision of vehicle ride height and addition of increased underbody protection should reduce both the frequency of underbody strikes and the resultant fire risk. a defect trend has not been identified. accordingly, the investigation is closed. the closing of the investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist, and the agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by new circumstances.

On june 22, 2020, the office of defects investigations (odi) opened preliminary evaluation pe20-010 to investigate incidents of media control unit (mcu) failures resulting in loss of rearview camera in model year (my) 2012-2015 tesla model s vehicles equipped with the nvidia tegra 3 processor with an integrated 8gb emmc nand flash memory device. emmc nand flash devices have a finite lifespan based upon the number of program/erase (p/e) cycles. the subject mcu allegedly fails prematurely due to memory wear-out of the emmc nand flash. tesla used the same mcu with the tegra 3 processor in approximately 159 thousand 2012-2018 model s and 2016-2018 model x vehicles built by tesla through early-2018. in response to odi's information request (ir) for pe20-010, tesla provided odi with 2,399 complaints and field reports, 7,777 warranty claims, and 4,746 non-warranty claims related to mcu replacements. the data show failure rates over 30 percent in certain build months and accelerating failure trends after 3 to 4 years-in-service.according to tesla, for subject vehicles equipped with the nvidia tegra 3 processor with an integrated 8gb emmc nand flash memory device, the emmc nand cell hardware can fail when reaching lifetime wear, for which the emmc controller has no available blocks to recover. with this failure mode, the only recovery available is a replacement of the emmc device, achieved by physical part replacement of either the mcu assembly or visual control module subcomponent. tesla provided the effects of mcu failure on vehicle function which result in loss of rearview/backup camera, loss of hvac (defogging) setting controls (if the hvac status was off status prior to failure.) there is also an impact on the advanced driver assistance support (adas) autopilot system, and turn signal functionality due to the possible loss of audible chimes, driver sensing, and alerts associated with these vehicle functions. there are precedents for addressing defects that result in loss of either backup camera, defogging, or turn signal functions under safety recalls.tesla has implemented certain over-the-air or ota updates to subject vehicles to mitigate the effects of mcu failure. these updates include firmware changes to reduce memory usage of the subject memory card, improve emmc error correction and storage management strategies, changing the control logic for turn signal activation, and defaulting the hvac system to auto (71.6f) for drives after mcu failure to address windshield defogging. tesla indicated that the mcu failures are likely to continue to occur in subject vehicles as vehicles continue to operate and use available memory in the 8gb emmc nand flash memory until 100% of units have failed. this investigation has been upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea20-003). the voqs associated with the upgrade of this investigation are identified in the attachment to this resume.
