Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Check if you own a 2021-2024 Tesla Model S or Model X that has had its original steering wheel or yoke replaced with a different style.
  2. Contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 to schedule a free inspection; reference Tesla recall number SB-23-20-005.
