# Service bulletin SB\-23\-17\-002 R1 A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned. - Type: Service bulletin - NHTSA id: 10240956 - Published by NHTSA: 2023\-08\-21 - Manufacturer's number: SB\-23\-17\-002 R1 - Manufacturer's date: 2023\-07\-28 - NHTSA component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS; FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: SENSING SYSTEM: RADAR ## NHTSA's summary In 2021 \- 2022 Model S vehicles running software version 2022.20.9 or later, Autopilot and Active Safety Features that were using front radar sensor data transitioned to using camera data \(Tesla Vision\), making the front radar sensor unnecessary. ## The document - [NHTSA's copy of the document (PDF)](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10240956-0001.pdf) - [If that address does not open, try this one](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10240956-9999.pdf) The document is the manufacturer's.

On certain Model S and Model X vehicles, the HV battery umbrella valves, over time, may become damaged due to road debris. Replace all 5 umbrella valves with updated parts. This new revision, R1, updates the affected Countries/Regions. - [SB\-25\-16\-002](/bulletins/11023640.md), 2025-10-02, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. On certain Model S and Model X vehicles built between approximately January 2021 and September 22, 2022, the High Voltage \(HV\) battery ports’ plungers intended for internal water leak egress \(also known as flood ports\) can be replaced with plungers that are more robust against external ingress due to submersion during flooding or other similar high\-severity abuse instances. Replace all 5 flood port plungers with updated parts. This new revision, R2, updates the affected Countries/Regions. - [NHTSA 11021494](/bulletins/11021494.md), 2025-08-05, Other: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Messaging sent directly to customers who have queued with Tesla Service to perform Service Bulletin SB\-25\-16\-002 "Replace Flood Port Plungers". The customer is informed that their vehicle is in queue to receive parts and repairs, Tesla Service will reach out to them when the Service Center is ready to schedule vehicle service, and what to do if the vehicle is exposed/will be exposed to flooding. - [NHTSA 11021493](/bulletins/11021493.md), 2025-08-05, Other: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Proactive messaging sent directly to customers affected by Service Bulletin SB\-25\-16\-002 "Replace Flood Port Plungers". The customer is informed that their vehicle is impacted by Service Bulletin SB\-25\-16\-002, the benefits of performing the bulletin repair, and what to do if the vehicle is exposed/will be exposed to flooding. - [SB\-25\-16\-004](/bulletins/11020190.md), 2025-07-04, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
