Tesla is recalling approximately 29,348 of its 2021-2023 Model X vehicles because the front passenger air bag may not deploy correctly during certain low-speed crashes. This issue is caused by a calibration error in the restraint control module (RCM), which means the vehicle does not meet federal safety standards for occupant crash protection. Tesla has addressed this by releasing a free over-the-air (OTA) software update to recalibrate the system.
If the front passenger air bag does not deploy as intended during a crash, it increases the risk of injury for the passenger. The improper calibration specifically affects performance in low-speed collisions where precise air bag deployment is critical for safety.
