Tesla’s latest Model X recall isn’t just a software update


The only thing over the air is some flying roof trimmings.

Tesla is issuing a new recall for more than 9,000 of its Model X SUVs due to roof cosmetic trim pieces that could fly off while driving because they may have been adhered without primer. Tesla often pushes software updates to address recalls, including a repeat Autopilot safety issue where it does not warn drivers effectively. Similar to this Model X issue, Tesla recalled over 11,000 Cybertrucks in June due to truck bed trimming that could come loose and create road hazards.
