Tesla is recalling certain model-year 2021-2022 Model X vehicles due to an air bag issue. Both the left and right front-row side curtain air bags may not deploy as intended when the windows are lowered. Improper side curtain air bag deployment increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on June 7, 2022. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 877-798-3752 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.

To resolve the issue, Tesla Service Centers will replace the left and right front-row side curtain air bags.

Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
