Tesla has recalled nearly 30,000 Model X cars over an issue that may cause the front passenger air bag to deploy incorrectly, according to a company letter filed with the regulator.
Calibration of a restraint control module, or a set of sensors, may cause the front passenger air bag to deploy incorrectly during some low-speed crashes, the US's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a letter dated November 17.
The problem will be fixed through an over-the-air software update, the company said.
Earlier this month, the world's most valuable automaker recalled more than 40,000 Model S and Model X vehicles due to the risk of experiencing a loss of power steering assist when driving on rough roads or after hitting a pothole.
