Overview

• Tesla is recalling over 54,000 Model X vehicles from 2021-2023 model years due to an issue where the vehicle controller may not detect low brake fluid.
• The recall was initiated by NHTSA after receiving a report from Tesla on October 11, though no related crashes, injuries or deaths have been reported.
• Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to address the issue and will be notifying owners by December 12.
• This recall comes after NHTSA opened an investigation in August into potential loss of steering control in 280,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.
• The software update fix allows Tesla to avoid a traditional physical recall of the vehicles to repair the issue.
