2023 Tesla Model X recalls
Delayed Rearview Camera Image Raises Backover Crash Risk
Certain Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X vehicles running software version 2026.8.6 may show the rearview camera image late after the vehicle is shifted into reverse.
Horn May Not Sound Due to Wrong Steering Air Bag Pad
Some Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles may have been built with a steering wheel air bag that has the incorrect horn pad.
Rearview camera image can cut out, raising crash risk
Certain Tesla Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Model Y vehicles may have a computer circuit board that can short, causing the rearview camera to lose its image.
Driver Airbag May Tear During Deployment
Certain Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles from model years 2021 through 2024 may have a driver's frontal airbag cushion that could tear when the airbag deploys.
Hood May Open While Driving, Blocking View
Certain Tesla Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Model Y vehicles may have a hood latch assembly that fails to detect when the hood has not been fully latched after being opened.
Seat belt warning may not sound for unbelted driver
Some Tesla Model S, Model X, Model 3 and Model Y vehicles may have a seat belt warning light and chime that do not activate as intended when the driver is unbelted.
Dashboard brake and ABS warning text too small to read easily
The instrument panel on these Tesla vehicles displays the Brake, Park, and Antilock Brake System (ABS) warning lights in an incorrect font size.
Rearview camera image may fail to display in reverse
Certain vehicles equipped with full self-driving computer 4.0 and running specific software versions may experience software instability that prevents the rearview camera image from appearing on the screen.
Cabin doors can unlock in a crash, raising injury risk
Certain Model S and Model X vehicles from 2022 and 2023 may have cabin doors that unlock during a crash.
Driver Misuse Risk With Autosteer Driver-Assist Feature
This recall covers vehicles with Autosteer, an SAE Level 2 driver-assistance feature.
Wrong driver airbag may deploy incorrectly in crash
Some steering wheels or yokes were replaced with a different style, but an airbag not designed for that replacement may have been installed.
Low brake fluid may go unwarned, raising crash risk
Certain 2021-2023 Tesla Model X vehicles may fail to detect low brake fluid, so the dashboard warning light will not come on.
Front Seat Belts May Detach in a Crash
Certain front-row seat belts may not be properly connected to the pretensioner anchors, which means the belt can come loose from its attachment point.
Forward Camera May Misalign, Disabling Automatic Braking Without Warning
The forward-facing camera on certain 2023 Model S, Model X, and Model Y vehicles may be misaligned.
Rearview Image May Fail to Display in Reverse
Some 2023 Model X vehicles with full self-driving computer 4.0 running software version 2023.2.200 may have weak camera signal strength.
Software may let vehicle run intersections or exceed speed limits
Certain Tesla Model S, Model X, Model 3 and Model Y vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving Beta software, or with that software pending installation, may act unsafely around intersections.
Passenger Front Airbag May Deploy Incorrectly in Low-Speed Crashes
Certain 2021-2023 Tesla Model X vehicles have a restraint control module calibration issue that may cause the front passenger airbag to deploy incorrectly during certain low-speed crashes.

What owners report
On 10/22/26, the driver engaged Full Self-Driving (Supervised) while the vehicle was parked in our residential garage, to back out onto the driveway. As the vehicle reversed out of the garage under FSD, the driverâs-side mirror struck the garage wall, damaging the mirror and causing minor damage to the wall. The vehicle did not stop or correct its path before or after contact. The vehicle displayed no alerts or takeover warnings at any point. The driver was watching the vehicleâs rearward path but was not monitoring the clearance at the driverâs-side mirror, did not intervene, and did not alter the wheel direction. No one was injured. Tesla estimated the repair cost at approximately $1
On [XXX], at approximately [XXX], I was driving my 2023 Tesla Model X to the Macy's at Bellevue Square, Bellevue, WA, with Full Self-Driving (Supervised) engaged. The navigation system routed incorrectly to Lincoln Square instead of Bellevue Square, and the vehicle proceeded into the Lincoln Square underground parking garage while still in FSD mode. The vehicle briefly stopped at the parking entrance gate where the barrier arm is, then suddenly accelerated at full speed toward a wall â breaking through the barrier arm and colliding with the wall. I attempted to cancel FSD and pressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle did not disengage and did not stop. I heard no Forward Collision Warning o
The contact owns a 2023 Tesla Model X. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 65 MPH with Full Self-Driving mode activated, the rear passengerâs side tire exploded. The message âLoss Pressure Rear Tire" was displayed. The contact's wife nearly lost control of the vehicle but was able to drive slowly to the residence. The contact took the rear passengerâs side tire to a tire retailer to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to the tire retailer, where the contact was informed that the vehicle was too heavy for the tires, which caused the tires to warp. All four tires were replaced, and a rear suspension alignment was performed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failur
I have a 2018 and a 2023 Tesla both with the same air bag failure warning, specifically Front Passenger Safety Restraint System Issue. Since this is a critical safety component of the car and Tesla appears to have a wide spread problem with this component, please look into this as possible recall situation.
I was using FSD any driving on XXX between [XXX] and [XXX]. Suddenly the car put on the 4 way flashers, slowed down and started to pull to the side of the road. There was no shoulder so the car would have stopped in the driving lane. I immediately turned the wheel back into the center of the lane and stepped on the accelerator to avoid being rear ended. Fortunately the traffic was light. There was no indication that the FSD sensed inattentiveness. I was able to continue driving using FSD. This happened twice on my way to Huntersville on XXX and once on the return trip on XXX. I filed a report with Tesla and have an appointment for next week.
