Posted on: 2017-10-13
Description
Tesla, inc. (tesla) is recalling certain 2016-2017 model x vehicles. The left-side, second row, reclining seat backs may not fully latch due to having incorrectly adjusted recliner mechanism cables. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 207, seating systems, and 210, seat belt assembly anchorages.
Consequence
If the seat back moves forward in the event of a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.

Consequence
Trim that separates from the vehicle during use can cause a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Tesla will notify owners, and dealers will test the roof trim adhesion, and, as necessary, apply primer, free of charge. The recall began january 15, 2021. Owners may contact tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is sb-20-12-005.

DEFECT #5 - STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
Posted on: 2020-02-05
Description
Tesla, inc. (tesla) is recalling certain 2015-2016 model x vehicles. The aluminum bolts that attach the power steering gear assist motor to the gear housing may corrode and fracture causing a reduction or complete loss of power steering assist.
Consequence
Loss of power steering assist would require a higher steering effort, especially at lower speeds, which may increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Tesla will notify owners, and tesla service centers will replace the steering gear mounting bolts with coated steel bolts, and add a corrosion-preventative sealer to the steering gear motor housing and motor connection bolts. If the mounting bolts are found to be broken or break during removal and cannot be removed, a new steering gear will also be installed. All services will be performed free of charge.

DEFECT #6 - EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
Posted on: 2021-02-01
Description
Tesla, inc. (tesla) is recalling certain 2012-2018 tesla model s and 2016-2018 model x vehicles with a center display equipped with a nvidia tegra 3 processor and an 8gb emmc nand flash memory device. When the 8gb emmc nand flash memory device for the center display reaches lifetime wear, the emmc controller will no longer be able to maintain the integrity of the filesystem, causing a failure in some of the center display functions.
Consequence
The emmc controller wear-out condition can cause the loss of the rearview camera display, defrost/defog control settings, and exterior turn signal lighting, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Owners should ensure their vehicles are operating firmware release 2020.48.48.12 or newer, which will alert owners if the emmc is approaching lifetime wear. Tesla will notify owners, and will replace the vcm daughterboard with one containing an enhanced emmc controller, free of charge. The recall began march 29, 2021. Owners may contact tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is sb-21-21-001.
