Electric car maker Tesla Inc is recalling 578,607 vehicles in the United States because pedestrians may not be able to hear a required warning sound of an approaching car due to loud music or other sounds played by its 'Boombox' feature, a U.S. regulator said on Thursday.

Tesla is recalling some 2020-2022 Model S, Model X, Model Y, and 2017-2022 Model 3 vehicles because the "Boombox function" allows sounds to be played through an external speaker while the vehicle is in motion and that may obscure the required Pedestrian Warning System sound.NHTSA said they fail to comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard on minimum sound requirements for electric vehicles.
Several of Tesla's recent recalls have come soon after NHTSA raised questions about features or complaints. The regulator is investigating Tesla's driver assistance system Autopilot and an in-vehicle game feature. Tesla had sought to resolve that issue with an over the air update but NHTSA said in early 2021 the updates could be "procedurally and substantively insufficient."
