Tesla left-side, second row, reclining seat backs may not fully latch due to having incorrectly adjusted recliner mechanism cables.
The short version
Tesla Motors, Inc. reported a problem with the seats mid/rear assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
The left-side, second row, reclining seat backs may not fully latch due to having incorrectly adjusted recliner mechanism cables. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
If the seat back moves forward in the event of a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.
Tesla will notify owners, and Tesla service technicians will correct the cable adjustment for the left-side, fold-flat, second row, seat recliner mechanism, free of charge.
