2021 TESLA MODEL X Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Tesla Model X has 8 recalls, the most serious involving Full Self-Driving Beta software that can cause the vehicle to exceed speed limits or proceed through intersections unpredictably, raising the risk of a crash. Four recalls involve airbags. The front-row side curtain airbags may not deploy correctly when the windows are lowered, reducing ejection protection in a crash. The driver's airbag can tear during deployment, leaving the driver with less cushioning. The front passenger airbag may deploy incorrectly in certain low-speed crashes due to a calibration issue in the restraint control module. On a smaller number of vehicles where the steering wheel was swapped between a yoke and a round wheel, the wrong airbag may have been installed, which could cause it to perform incorrectly in a crash. There is also a related issue where an airbag with the wrong horn pad may have been fitted, leaving the driver unable to sound the horn. On the braking side, the vehicle's controller can fail to detect low brake fluid and will not illuminate a warning light, meaning the driver may not realize stopping power has been reduced until it is too late.
