Tesla front bumper carrier structure may alter the vehicle's crash detection, causing the front passenger air bag to deploy incorrectly during certain low speed crashes.
The short version
Tesla, Inc. reported a problem with the air bags frontal. Here is what owners need to know.
The front bumper carrier structure may alter the vehicle's crash detection, causing the front passenger air bag to deploy incorrectly during certain low speed crashes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
A passenger air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury.
Tesla Service will replace the front bumper carrier structure, free of charge.
