According to the NHTSA, more than one million cars are being recalled because of a problem with their windows.
If an obstruction gets in the way, the automatic reversal system on some vehicles may not work the way it should.
The NHTSA said there could be more than one million cars with the fault.
Some Model 3s, Model Ys, and certain Model Ss and Model Xs may be affected by the issue, according to the filing.
The vehicles that fail to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard have power-operated windows.
According to a NHTSA document, the issue was first discovered in August. The window could exert more force when it closes than needed. According to the document, this could pose a danger to the driver or passenger.
There were no reports of deaths or injuries related to the fault with the automatic windows.
According to the NHTSA, the automatic window reversal system will get a free software update.
The company didn't reply to the request for comment.
