In a recent development, the American automotive giant, Tesla, has announced the recall of 54,676 Model X vehicles manufactured between 2021 and 2023. This recall comes as a result of a brake fluid level detection problem, which poses potential safety risks for the affected vehicles. The issue has been brought to light by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The NHTSA has reported that the controller in these vehicles fails to detect low brake fluid levels and does not trigger a warning indicator. To address this issue, Tesla is rolling out a free Over-the-Air (OTA) software update to rectify the problem, as confirmed by the NHTSA.
As of October 10th, Tesla has not received any reports of accidents, injuries, or fatalities related to the vehicle's controller malfunction. This absence of reported incidents has been reassuring for both Tesla and the regulatory authorities.
This recall is not the first time Tesla has faced safety concerns. In August, the NHTSA initiated an investigation into 280,000 new Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles due to reports of steering control and power steering assist loss.
