When a front passenger is out of position during certain low speed collisions. The airbag may unintentionally deploy, increasing the risk of injury.
We have observed that Tesla’s recalls are increasing over the past few months. But unlike other automakers, Tesla may not actually be physically recalling the cars as a result.
