Over 120,000 Tesla cars are recalled due to door risks

Safety regulators have reported that Tesla is recalling more than 120,000 of its cars because unlocked doors have the potential to open during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Some 2021–2023 Model S and X cars in the US are impacted by the flaw, as per a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report.

Tesla stated that it discovered the problem for the first time on December 6 during a routine crash test and that it is not aware of any injuries or claims brought on by the issue.

For cars impacted by the safety issue, the manufacturer has made available an over-the-air (OTA) software update. By February 17, 2024, notification letters are anticipated to be mailed to the owners of those vehicles.

Additionally, owners can call 1-877-798-3752 to reach Tesla customer service. SB-23-00-009 is Tesla's recall number.
