Tesla Model X recall highlights risk of massive Model 3 rollout

The reason for the recall lies in a design flaw affecting the vehicle's third row of seats. Specifically, a faulty locking hinge on the last row of seats could potentially cause the seats to collapse forward during a crash. While there have been no reported incidents to date, Tesla obviously wants to get ahead of the problem as early as possible. "Despite [15] prior successful tests and no reports of a third row seat slipping in any customer vehicles," Tesla said in an email to affected owners, "we have decided to conduct a voluntary recall as a precautionary measure and will be replacing all affected third row seat backs."
