Tesla Recalls Nearly 30,000 Model Xs for Airbag Issue
Tesla Recalls Nearly 30,000 Model Xs for Airbag Issue-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:12:01

A white 2022 Tesla model X.

is almost 30,000 because the passenger airbag may not correctly deploy in a low-speed crash. According to the ’s website, if the front seat passenger is young, unbelted, and out of position, they could be injured by the piece of safety equipment.

That being said, as of this writing, Tesla is not aware of any crash, injuries, or deaths related to the defect, according to its filing with the NHTSA.

Like many Tesla recalls, the fix can be administered in an over-the-air update. NHTSA says letters informing owners are expected to go out January 14.

This is just the latest recall, with other recalls covering issues with forward collision avoidance, seat belts, and pinchy windows, among other things. This recall also comes just a little bit over a week since electric sedans because of a power steering issue.
