Tesla recalls Model X SUVs for seat fix
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) — Tesla on Thursday said that it is recalling Model X sport utility vehicles to fix second-row seat-backs which might shift forward during crashes.
Internal testing revealed that cables in second-row fold-flat seats in 2016 and 2017 model year vehicles might need to be adjusted to “ensure the safety” of those riding inside, a Tesla spokesperson said in an email response to an AFP inquiry.
“Although Tesla has not received reports of any issues or accidents relating to this condition, we will be conducting a voluntary recall to inspect the affected vehicles and confirm whether any adjustment is needed,” the statement said.
