According to Germany’s national vehicle authority, the all-electric SUVs suffer from a potentially dangerous fault with the interior trim.
Tesla will be advised to recall 12,300 examples of its Model X SUV worldwide, according the German national vehicle authority KBA.
The agency claims affected Model X vehicles – which were built from 2015 to 2016 – suffer from a potentially-dangerous defect with the interior roof trimming adhesives, which could lead to components detaching while in operation and block the driver’s view of the road.
Late last year US traffic authorities issued a similar recall request, citing a similar issue relating to trim adhesive faults.
It is unclear how many Australian vehicles are potentially affected by the fault, as Tesla does not report its annual sales figures through VFACTS.
CarAdvice has contacted Tesla Australia for comment on its plans for risk mitigation. This story will be updated when more information becomes available.
