Tesla, Inc. is recalling approximately 54,676 of its 2021-2023 Model X vehicles because the vehicle controller may fail to detect low brake fluid levels. Because of this defect, the vehicle will not display a required warning light to the driver when fluid is low, which violates federal safety standards for light vehicle brake systems. Tesla has released a free over-the-air (OTA) software update to fix this issue, and notification letters were mailed to owners in December 2023.
If the vehicle is driven with low brake fluid and the driver is not alerted by a warning light, braking performance can be significantly reduced. This failure to maintain proper braking pressure increases the risk of a crash.
