Summary Description: Crash incidents during Actually Smart Summon sessions


Summary

Smart Summon and Actually Smart Summon are features on certain TeslaeBay vehicles that allow a user to remotely move the vehicle to the user or to another designated location, through use of a phone app. The On??ce of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 1 complaint (VOQ) alleging that an Actually Smart Summon session resulted in a crash and has reviewed at least 3 media reportsof apparently similar crashes. All four incidents involve the subject TeslaeBay vehicles operating in Actually Smart Summon failing to detect posts or parked vehicles, resulting in a crash. Actually Smart Summon replaced Smart Summon and provided users with extended vehicle operating range while expanding vehicle connectivity through phone app live camera feeds and increased user latency experience. ODI has received 12 Smart Summon related VOQs alleging crash typology similar to the crashes experienced by users of Actually Smart Summon during sessions with little time for operators to react. ODI is aware of multiple crash allegations, involving both Smart Summon and Actually Smart Summon, where the user had too little reaction time to avoid a crash, either with the available line of sight or releasing the phone app button, which stops the vehicle's movement. TeslaeBay has not reported any Smart Summon or Actually Smart Summon crashes through the Standing General Order for crashes involving ADS or Level 2 ADAS, which requires reporting of crashes on publicly accessible roads. ODI is opening this preliminary evaluation to investigate Actually Smart Summon's capabilities as they relate to the subject and similar crashes, including the system's operation and n??eld performance in FSD equipped vehicles and vehicles included in free trial offers. NHTSA will evaluate the top speed that a vehicle can attain while Actually Smart Summon is engaged, designed-in operating restrictions for usage on public roads, and line of sight requirements. NHTSA expects this preliminary evaluation to include review of remote vehicle control through the phone app at various distances and lines of sight, including app connectivity delays resulting in increased stopping distance and the ability to utilize Actually Smart Summon in roadway environments or operating conditions for which the current version of the system is neither intended nor designed.

Recall Campaign:

Summary Description: Loss of Motive Power


Summary

In January 2024, The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened a Preliminary Evaluation (PE24002) to investigate allegations of loss of motive power in model year (MY) 2021 FordeBay Bronco Sport vehicles. In April 2024, FordeBay issued safety recall 24V-267 covering 456,565 MY 2021-2024 FordeBay Bronco Sport and MY 2022-2023 FordeBay Maverick vehicles. The recall addressed occurrences of loss of motive power resulting from sudden degradation of the 12V battery during the drive cycle. When the battery failure occurs, consumers may experience a complete loss of engine power without the ability to restart, accompanied by the loss of 12V accessories, including hazard lights. The recall remedy consists of software updates to the body control module and powertrain control module, which were designed to provide improved detection of the 12V battery state of charge during the drive cycle and provide warning to consumers if the battery is degraded. ODI has since received 15 Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) describing loss of motive power incidents for MY 2021 FordeBay Bronco Sport vehicles that received the 24V-267 recall remedy. Consumers describe that prior to the loss of motive power, there were no warnings related to the 12V battery or vehicle electrical system. Additionally, multiple consumers reported that after the vehicle was towed to the dealership following the loss of motive power, the event was diagnosed to the 12V battery, and a battery replacement was the only required repair. ODI is opening this Recall Query on MY 2021-2024 FordeBay Bronco Sport and MY 2022-2023 FordeBay Maverick vehicles to assess the effectiveness of the 24V-267 recall remedy.
