Tesla Model X recall overview:
- Who: Tesla issued a safety recall notice for 54,676 of its 2021-2023 Model X vehicles.
- Why: The brake fluid level sensor is miscalibrated.
- Where: The Tesla recall is effective across the United States.
Tesla issued a safety recall notice for 54,676 of its 2021-2023 Model X vehicles after it discovered the sensor that informs vehicle owners of low brake fluid levels is miscalibrated.
Approximately 98% of those model year vehicles have the issue and a software update will fix the calibration, Tesla says in a notice the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released.
“A vehicle controller that does not correctly indicate low brake fluid levels to the customer may impact braking performance and may increase the risk of a collision,” the recall says.
The low brake fluid level can also alter the feel on the braking system, according to the Model X recall.
No reports of injury, crashes, Tesla recall says
Tesla says it has not received any reports of injury or crashes related to the recall. The company is not facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.
The Tesla Model X recall issue can be resolved through a software update through software release 2023.32.7 or later, which was released Sept. 28. No service visit is necessary, the recall says.
Tesla also faces a class action lawsuit claiming it falsely promised three years of supercharging for consumers who purchased its Model S and Model X vehicles between April and June 2023.
