Tesla Recalls 9,100 Model X SUVs in US

Tesla has announced a recall of approximately 9,100 Model X SUVs in the U.S. due to a potential roof trim issue that may cause cosmetic pieces to detach, creating road hazards. This recall, which affects 2016 model year vehicles, is the second related to this issue since 2020, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) noted that the trim pieces might not have been adhered with primer. Tesla plans to test and reattach any necessary trim pieces at no cost to owners, and has been investigating the issue since 2022. Concurrently, Tesla China is recalling 870 imported Model X units for the same problem, which also dates back to a prior recall in 2020. The company aims to inspect and potentially replace any problematic roof trim panels in both markets. Despite the recalls, Tesla has reported no accidents or injuries linked to this issue.
