According to the recall report, excessive electrical stress on the affected vehicles could cause the windshield wiper motor controller to stop functioning, which could result in reduced visibility and increased risk of a collision under certain conditions.
Tesla confirmed the initial defect in the wiper motor on February 2, 2024, and recalled 20 wiper motors to conduct root cause and failure analysis. It took four months to identify the cause of the failure, and the report states that the decision was made to voluntarily recall the affected vehicles on June 12, 2024.

Tesla has not confirmed any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this issue.
