Tesla is recalling 9,136 of its 2016 Model X vehicles because the front and center roof cosmetic trim pieces may have been attached without the necessary primer. This lack of adhesive primer can cause one or both pieces of trim to become loose or completely separate from the vehicle while it is being driven. Tesla service technicians will inspect the trim pieces and reattach them as needed for free. This recall is particularly important because it includes vehicles that were previously repaired under a 2020 recall for the same issue, as those vehicles now require a new inspection.
If the roof trim pieces detach from the vehicle while driving, they can become a road hazard for other drivers, significantly increasing the risk of a crash for everyone on the road.
