Owner complaint summary

As of an OTA update to the Telsa early this summer, a prompt stating "Why did you intervene" appears over critical display information on the infotainment console. FSD v14.3.2 and onward. (released as part of software update 2026.2.9.9) The prompt appears at the instant you retake manual control. It covers or prevents access to navigation/other driving-relevant controls, like shifting, speed display, mileage, other warning indicators. It remains until you interact with it. The screen demand occurs during a potentially safety-critical transition.

This is an owner complaint filed with NHTSA (ODI #11766472). It is not automatically an official recall, investigation outcome, or manufacturer admission unless the complaint text itself describes one.
