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.
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.
Tesla service replaced the side air bag module free of charge.
