Tesla has announced a recall of 120,423 vehicles in the US due to the risk of unlocked interior doors in the event of an accident. This was reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This comes just a few days after another recall announced by the electric vehicle manufacturer.
Details
The recall concerns the 2021-2023 Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles due to non-compliance with certain federal safety standards for side impact protection. However, Elon Musk, the company's chairman, has already announced the release of a software update over the air to fix the issue. This shows that Tesla is committed to proactively addressing the issues identified and ensuring the safety of its customers.
The announced recall emphasises the importance of safety in the road transport sector, especially in the case of electric vehicles. Tesla is fully aware of this and is taking immediate action to address any potential deficiencies.
Owners of Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles affected by the recall will be notified of the issue and instructed to take the necessary steps. This may include a software update or a visit to a Tesla service centre to resolve the issue.
It should be noted that recalls are standard procedures for automakers when possible defects or potential safety issues are identified. They aim to ensure the safety and satisfaction of customers. Tesla owners should keep in mind that recalls are a standard process and can occur with any car brand. It is important to stay up-to-date with messages from the manufacturer and follow the recommendations for safe use of the car.
