The 2015 Tesla Model X has 2 recalls, the most serious involving power steering bolts that can corrode and fracture, causing a partial or complete loss of steering assist that makes the vehicle significantly harder to steer, particularly at low speeds.
The second recall covers the seatbelt warning system: if the driver is unbelted, the warning light and audible chime may not activate, leaving the driver without a reminder to buckle up before driving.
