Tesla is recalling thousands of early Model X vehicles again over roof trim pieces that may not have been properly adhered and could come loose.
Tesla is recalling 9,136 Model X vehicles over a roof trim piece that may not have been primed properly before adhesion and poses a risk of coming loose.The electrical vehicle maker determined testing done on these vehicles for a similar recall in 2020 was not sufficient to identify if the part was at risk for separation, and is requiring testing done with a stronger force. The physical recall is rare for Tesla , whose recalls normally require an over-the-air software update to fix the issue.
Tesla officials are now wanting to test the applique with a minimum force of 120N, which was determined through a fleet study, according to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration .Prior to separating, an applique without primer may create a detectable noise inside the cabin for either a short or prolonged period of time. Separately, the customer may observe the applique coming loose, the NHTSA report stated.
