Tesla Issues Software Fix For 54,000 Model X Vehicles Over Brake Fluid Sensor Malfunction

  • Tesla is recalling over 54,000 Model X vehicles from 2021-2023 model years due to an issue where the vehicle controller may not detect low brake fluid.
  • The recall was initiated by NHTSA after receiving a report from Tesla on October 11, though no related crashes, injuries or deaths have been reported.
  • Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to address the issue and will be notifying owners by December 12.
  • This recall comes after NHTSA opened an investigation in August into potential loss of steering control in 280,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.
  • The software update fix allows Tesla to avoid a traditional physical recall of the vehicles to repair the issue.
