Tesla issues recall for 9,100 Model X cars
Tesla issuing a recall for just over 9,000 cars is hardly a surprise these days, given that the company has recalled millions of cars over the years, including a recall for 1.8 million cars just weeks ago.
However, while most of Tesla recalls are for issues that can be fixed with software updates, this new one is notable as it requires a visit to the service center.
According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report (via Reuters), Tesla has issued a recall for 9,136 Model X SUVs over a trim on the roof that could separate and increase the risk of a crash.
"The Model X is equipped with a cosmetic applique at the front of the roof just behind the windshield, known as the front applique, as well as an applique at the center of the roof in between the upper falcon door roof glass, known as the spine applique. Both appliques are adhered to the vehicle using urethane. If the applique-to-urethane interface lacks primer, then, over time, the adhesion may weaken, causing the applique to separate from the vehicle," the report said.
Owners of affected Teslas, which are all of the 2016 model year Model X vehicles, will have to go to a Tesla service center where the roof trim adhesion will be tested and trim pieces reattached to make sure the cars are safe to drive, at no cost to the owners.

Also notable is that this is the second time these Model X vehicles have been recalled for the same issue. The first time it happened was in 2020, but now Tesla says that fix was not sufficient to truly remedy the issue.
