Details

What's wrong: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Model X vehicles. The left or right front-row side curtain air bags may not deploy as intended when the windows are lowered. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 226, "ejection mitigation."

Why it matters: Improper side curtain air bag deployment can increase the risk of injury during a crash.

The fix: Tesla service centers will replace the left and right front-row side curtain air bags, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 16, 2022.
