Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Tesla is recalling 91 of its 2021-2024 Model S and 2021-2025 Model X vehicles because an incorrect horn pad may have been installed during the assembly of the driver's air bag. This specific defect can prevent the horn from sounding when the driver presses the pad. Tesla service centers will inspect the air bag and install the correct horn pad, if necessary, free of charge to the owner.

Risk

A horn that does not work prevents the driver from being able to alert other motorists or pedestrians of their presence or potential hazards, which increases the likelihood of a collision.
