Tesla To Replace Defective Airbags Of Thousands Of Its Model X and Model S Vehicle Offerings 

Elon Musk’s Tesla has announced that it would push for the recall of select 7600 Model X and Model S cars after discovering that they contained defective airbags.

Tesla Raises Airbags Security Concerns

Per a recent recall order released by Tesla via the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in early November, the electronic vehicle (EV) maker is slated to pull out 7,600 units off the market due to concerns about their airbags’ security. 

It is said that the recalled cars’ airbags can possibly tear up when they are deployed during an accident or collision. The said faulty airbags can increase the chances of injury to the driver and other passengers. 

According to the Tesla Model X & Model S Airbag Recall order, a slight tweak in the airbags’ manufacturing process is the main reason behind the defect.

This is another round of recall launched by Tesla after it recently announced that it will ask around 12,000 car owners of its Tesla Model Y, X, S, and 3 to update their vehicle’s software due to an error on a previous version of the program.
