Tesla has recalled 294 Model S sedans and Model X SUVs from model years 2024 and 2025 because their driver’s side airbags may have been torn during the assembly process.
An airbag with a tear in it may not protect the driver in an accident.
Tesla tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that a supplier identified the problem and alerted the company. Tesla was able to isolate the issue to a single shipment of parts.
The company will fix the problem by replacing the airbag assembly. Recall repairs are always free.
Automakers recall many cars every year, sometimes more than once. They try to reach every owner to warn them. However, some may fall through the system’s cracks and are left unknowingly driving recalled cars. Check our easy recall tool to determine if your car has any outstanding recalls.
