Details

What's wrong: Tesla motors, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain model year 2016 Model X vehicles manufactured September 29, 2015, to March 30, 2016. In the affected vehicles, the third row seat back may move forward under load such as in a frontal collision. As such, the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 207, "seating systems."

Why it matters: If the third row seat does not remain in its adjusted position, there may be an increased risk of injury to an occupant in the event of a crash.

The fix: Tesla will notify owners, and dealers will replace all affected third row seats, free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2016.
