Tesla Recalling 11,000 Model Xs for Rear Seat Issue

Tesla is recalling 11,000 Model Xs worldwide due to a faulty locking mechanism in the rear seats.

Tesla said on Thursday an adjustment of the cables in the second row fold-flat seats will fix the issue, which raises the risk of the seats falling forward in a crash. The recall impacts vehicles manufactured between October 28, 2016 and August 16, 2017.

The issue was detected during internal testing and Tesla said it has not received reports of any issues or accidents related to the problem.

Tesla previously recalled 2,700 Model X SUVs in the U.S. due in April 2016 due to a faulty locking hinge in the third-row seats.
