UI_a112 - USB device malfunction - I/O Error

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Update to my earlier post: after 2024.14.6 and 2024.14.7 software updates, the issue persists. USB drive will be recognized and function intermittently. A reboot fixes the issue temporarily. Completed 4th service visit (2 mobile/2 service center) for this issue today. SC replaced the USB hub and the cable (harness) that connects the hub to the MCU. Doesn't fix the issue at all (I'm not sure why Tesla is so quick to replace hardware for an issue they identify as a "firmware" issue?). Same explanation as before, this is a known firmware bug and will be fixed in a future release. I'm contemplating starting arbitration at this point. This issue has come and gone since 2020 with no definitive fix.
Wow thanks for the update though! I’m installing 2024.14.8 as I type this. I’ll also give an update in the morning if anything changes.

Very helpful. As everyone seems to happen at random when the car should be asleep when there is no interaction either from scheduled charging or manual waking. Makes me wonder if it's occurring during data sharing to Tesla. Has anyone tried switching off data charing in the autopilot menu?

It’s funny you’re saying this, I randomly turned off all data sharing last night and still got the error while my car was asleep at 4:40am lol

Also, error still persists even after 2024.14.8

I just formatted the tesla USB once again within the car to see if it does anything while my car is asleep while I’m at work. Figured maybe since the new update, formatting would help. Will give an update if any changes

I have the same exact problem.
 
this issue started happening on my 2021 MY since around New Year's and been getting consistently worse. The software is on the latest available version, 2024.14.8, and still no improvement. I scheduled a service appointment for end of June.

Sadly, service appointment won’t fix the issue. It is tesla software issue. A few have visited service center and were told a future software update should address the issue & Tesla knows about it. Some were given new usb hub modules & usb sticks which didn’t help.

well, maybe I'll at least hear another story from the service rep on how buggy MY is and that I should upgrade to X :cool:

My USB-A wasn't recognized, and the format and delete options were grayed out. I tested the USB on my computer, it worked perfectly fine. Tesla verified that there was an issue and replaced the computer (1684435-S0-1). Works fine now and sentry is working.

damn even on a 2024 now? That’s sucks, but welcome to the club at least lol

Yup, fresh out of the factory on Tesla's latest and greatest and the UI_a112 notifications started spewing out. I have scheduled a SC appointment just so I can get this issue logged in their books but based on what everyone has said there's no point in 1) swapping flash drive 2) changing the USB hub 3) changing the MCU. Will just have to wait for the SW fix.
