Tesla recall: Nearly 55,000 new-model vehicles affected by brake safety issue
View Date:2024-12-23 14:37:57
Tesla announced a recall for some of its newer-model vehicles due to a potential brake fluid detection issue.
The recall notice affects 55,000 of its Model X vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said, and can be resolved with a software update.
The vehicle, according to NHTSA, can fail to detect low brake fluid and will not display a warning light.
"Without a warning light, the vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, which can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of crash," the federal safety regulating agency said.
