Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Tesla, Inc. is recalling one specific 2024 Model 3 vehicle because the driver’s seat side air bag module was manufactured without a deflector. This internal component is essential for directing gas flow correctly when the air bag inflates during a collision. Tesla has already identified the affected vehicle and performed a free replacement of the side air bag module on April 12, 2024.

Risk

Without the deflector, the side air bag may deploy improperly during a crash. This failure to deploy as designed increases the risk of injury to the driver during an accident.

What You Should Do

  1. Verify if your vehicle is the single affected unit by checking your VIN on the NHTSA website or contacting Tesla customer service.
  2. If you are the owner of the affected 2024 Model 3, confirm that the repair performed by Tesla service on April 12, 2024, was completed to replace the side air bag module free of charge.
  3. Contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 and reference recall number SB-24-13-001 for more information.
  4. For additional questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
