Tesla is recalling 194 of its 2021-2024 Model S and Model X vehicles because an incorrect air bag may have been installed. This issue occurred when a vehicle's original steering yoke or round steering wheel was replaced with a different style. Tesla Service will inspect and replace the driver's air bag as necessary, free of charge, to ensure it matches the steering wheel type currently installed.
If an air bag is not designed to function with the specific style of steering wheel or yoke installed, it may deploy incorrectly during a collision. This failure to deploy as intended increases the risk of occupant injury during a crash.
