2016 TESLA MODEL X Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Tesla Model X has 12 recalls, the most serious involving the Full Self-Driving Beta software, which can cause the vehicle to exceed speed limits or move through intersections in ways other drivers cannot anticipate, raising the risk of a crash. On the steering side, bolts attaching the electric power steering assist motor to the gear housing can corrode and break, causing a sudden loss of power steering that makes the car significantly harder to turn, particularly at low speeds. Two seat-related recalls cover the second-row left-side reclining seat back and the third-row seat back, both of which may not fully latch and can pitch forward in a crash, increasing injury risk to occupants. The electric parking brake caliper on certain vehicles contains an internal gear that can break under load, which can leave the parking brake stuck and prevent the car from moving. Several recalls address cosmetic roof trim, including the panels just behind the windshield and along the spine between the rear doors, which can detach from the vehicle while driving and become a hazard for other road users. Prior repair attempts on the roof trim did not fully resolve the issue for some vehicles, and those owners require a second inspection or repair.
