built between September 8, 2021 and April 5, 2022 in which a fault means that when the front passenger or front driver-side windows are lowered, the front-row curtain airbag may “interact” with the A-pillar trim during deployment, reducing its effectiveness and meaning it doesn’t comply with safety regulations.
To resolve this issue, Tesla will replace the front-row curtain airbags on all affected vehicles at no charge. The replacement airbag includes extended tabs that allow it to be rolled with more inboard deployment trajectory, ensuring it doesn’t hit the A-pillar. Owners of impacted vehicles will be notified of this recall on June 7.
