A Single Tesla Model X Was Recalled Due To A Missing Part
Tesla has recalled a single unit of its Model X crossover electric vehicle for not being equipped with a necessary safety reinforcement. In the early days of the EV revolution, most electric cars used to be sedans or hatchbacks. However, that has changed in recent years with the launch of a series of crossover vehicles, full-size SUVs and even pickup trucks. The Model X is a classic example of a large, luxury crossover EV and is one of the best-selling vehicles in its segment in the U.S.
The latest Tesla recall comes close on the heels of several other recalls from the company this year. Just last week, Tesla recalled around 48,000 Model 3 Performance vehicles due to a speedometer malfunction. Before that, in February, the EV-maker was forced to recall more than 800,000 vehicles over a seat-belt chime malfunction and around 54,000 units due to faulty Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. It also recalled nearly 30,000 cars because of problems with windshields that were not defrosting quickly enough in cold weather. Thankfully, the latest recall is for just one car and not thousands of units, unlike the earlier recalls.
