Tesla is recalling 120,423 of its 2021-2023 Model S and Model X vehicles because the cabin doors can become unlocked during a side-impact crash. This defect means the vehicles fail to meet federal safety standards for side-impact protection. Tesla has released a free over-the-air (OTA) software update to fix the issue, and owners were notified by mail in February 2024.
If the doors unlock during a crash, they may unlatch and open unexpectedly. This significantly increases the risk that an occupant could be injured or ejected from the vehicle during a collision.
