Vehicles Affected: Approximately 11,000 model-year 2016-17 Tesla Model X luxury electric SUVs with fold-flat second-row seats built between Oct. 28, 2016, and Aug. 16, 2017
The Problem: Cables in the second-row fold-flat seats may not be properly adjusted, which could lead to the left-side seatback of the second-row seats unexpectedly moving forward in a crash, increasing the risk of an injury.
Tesla said it has not received reports of any issues or accidents relating to the issue.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect the cables and, if necessary, properly adjust them for free.
What Owners Should Do: Tesla will begin notifying owners today. Tesla said that both its service centers and its mobile repair service can perform the adjustment. Owners can call the automaker at 877-798-3752 to learn more.

I joined the automotive industry in 2016 as a lifelong car enthusiast and have achieved the rare feat of applying my journalism and media arts degrees as a writer, fact-checker, proofreader and editor my entire professional career, which has somehow been more than a decade solely at Cars.com and currently as Chief Copy Editor. I live by an in-house version of the AP stylebook and know where the semicolons can go, which you can occasionally find updated proof of in the stories
