NHTSA Complaint #11520063 — 2023 TESLA MODEL Y

The second row passenger side seat actuator will randomly engage or disengage the seat. This was discovered while a booster seat with a child was using the seat and the seat unlatched itself while driving causing the seat back to flip forward with the child in it hitting the back of the front passenger seat. The seat actuator continued to randomly engage or disengage the seat with or without passenger or when completely stowed flat. Once the initial incidence occurred the manufacturer was notified and a mobile service visit occurred. At the mobile service visit the technician verbally indicated they've seen another similar incident report on a similar make/model with a similar VIN number. The mobile technician was not able to resolve the issue and a follow up service appointment is scheduled. The incident reoccurs randomly with no warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior.
