So, got a random recall text from Tesla service yesterday...

[Varmint]

BTW, this was legit - same number that confirmed my last appointment.

Tesla: Sir,This is Tesla virtual service,
There are several non safety related recalls that can be performed on your Model X. Would you like to schedule them?

Me: No recalls are listed for my VIN on Teslas site. What are the bulletins?

Tesla: Remove Gap Hiding Seals. Resecure Triple Camera Windshield Bracket. Reroute Main Front Body Harness. Some of these may be to just inspect and correct if needed.

First of all, kudos to Tesla for being proactive about minor stuff like this, but I do live in Spokane, so the SS here probably isn’t exactly socked with bookings. Still, I’m reluctant to do this at this time for obvious reasons. Has anyone had a similar recall performed and did it seem worth it, or should I just wait until I have a more pressing reason to go in?

Never heard this before but would you mind giving some insight into your car e.g. Month/Year AP, MCU, etc.? It'll help to know for comparison to others.

I have a mobile tech coming Thursday, I'll ask about those and see if they give any feedback

 

[Varmint]

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. It’s a late (October) 2018 MX 75D with AP 2.5 and MCU 2.

They just did the harness on my 2019 Model X 100D.

Was the txt from a (786) 828-xxxx number? I also received a txt from Tesla Virtual Service but was not sure if it was legit. They were asking if I wanted to order a part that I had called my local SC about the cost.

Where can I find the recall/vin number information

 

[Varmint]

Number was 231-819-xxxx for me (out of my area code) but it’s the same number that had confirmed my pervious appt, so they were already in my address book.

Jim, I do not have the bulletin/advisory numbers, sorry.

Has anyone done the 'Gap Hiding Seal' bulletin? I received an email asking me to schedule a mobile service, wondering if it's free of charge.

If it is not, they will tell you in advance, allowing you to cancel.

I had the seal and harness done last week when I took it in for hw3.0 upgrade. Everything was done same day.

Yes. No charge for me. They did it with the HW3 upgrade.

Sorry. Forgot to mention there was no charge as well.

So I read the NHTSA link for the “Gap hiding seals” recall and it is to remedy the issue of the FWD causing paint issues around the door frame when the door closes.

Will Tesla repair the wear marks on the door frame as well since paint has rubbed off over time due to this issue that they are finally correcting?

I have multi-coat red and the paint is gone in some spots due to this door pressure.

They have in the past. My car had to be sent to a body shop for it.

If they called, I would definitely bring the car in while you have their attention. If you hold off, it may be more difficult to get an appointment in the future.
