Tesla Inc. has recalled nearly 30,000 Model X cars over an issue that might cause the front passenger air bag to deploy incorrectly, according to a company letter filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Calibration of a restraint control module, or a set of sensors, might cause the front passenger air bag to deploy incorrectly during some low speed crashes, NHTSA said in a letter dated Nov. 17.
The problem will be fixed through an over-the-air software update, the company said.
Earlier this month Tesla recalled more than 40,000 Model S and Model X vehicles due to the risk of experiencing a loss of power steering assist when driving on rough roads or after hitting a pothole.
