DETROIT (AP) -- Tesla is recalling nearly 1.1 million vehicles in the U.S. because the windows can pinch a person's fingers when being rolled up.
Tesla said in documents posted Thursday by U.S. safety regulators that the automatic window reversal system may not react correctly after detecting an obstruction.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that's a violation of federal safety standards for power windows. An online software update will fix the problem, Tesla said.
The recall covers certain 2017 to 2022 Model 3 sedans and some 2020 and 2021 Model Y SUVs. Also included are some Model S sedans and Model X SUVs from 2021 and 2022.
Tesla discovered the problem during production testing in August. Owners will be notified by letter starting Nov. 15. The company said in documents vehicles in production got the update starting Sept. 13.
Tesla was not aware of any warranty claims or injuries due to the problem as of Sept. 16, according to the documents.
