Service bulletins for the 2018 Tesla Model X

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

102 on file from NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19.

Bulletins, newest first
SB-19-17-0142020-01-06. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY; EQUIPMENT. Some Autopilot HW2 or later Model S and Model X vehicles with Tegra Media Control Units (MCUs) may emit a faint static noise coming from the tweeters on the A-pillar. The noise is generally heard when it is very quiet in the cabin (the vehicle is in Park with climate control and media player off, etc.).
SB-19-39-001 R32020-01-06. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY; WHEELS. Older versions of the Model S and Model X LH front drive unit clevis mount contain a bushing that allows the front drive unit to move side-to-side more than expected during hard accelerations, resulting in excessive vibrations coming from the front drive unit during hard acceleration. This is exclusively an NVH issue and does not otherwise affect steering functionality, braking, or acceleration.
SB-19-11-0062020-01-06. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS. Some Model X vehicles are equipped with front door outer belt seals that apply excess pressure to the front door glass, potentially causing excess noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH), slow door glass movement, and/or unintended activation of door glass anti-pinch functionality.
SB1713005R42019-11-25. Service bulletin. SEATS. On some Model S and Model X front seats, the forward inboard Huck BOM fastener and pivot bushing (nearest to the center console) used on the front lift links may develop an interactive clearance condition, which might result in a rocking motion in the seat. This does not affect performance, but may result in customer dissatisfaction.
SB-18-11-002 R12019-10-15. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE. On some Model X vehicles, water might enter the door latches on the rear (Falcon Wing) doors, which can damage the electrical components integral to door latching operation.
SB-19-11-005 R12019-10-15. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. For some Model X vehicles, the rear door pinch sensor carrier has a gap hiding seal that applies force to the rear door exterior jamb, which might cause paint issues.
SB-18-11-002 R12019-10-07. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY. On some Model X vehicles, water might enter the door latches on the rear (Falcon Wing) doors, which can damage the electrical components integral to door latching operation.
SB-19-11-005 R12019-10-07. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY; STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR. For some Model X vehicles, the rear door pinch sensor carrier has a gap hiding seal that applies force to the rear door exterior jamb, which might cause paint issues.
SB-19-11-0052019-09-09. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS. For some Model X vehicles, the rear door pinch sensor carrier has a gap hiding seal that applies force to the rear door exterior jamb, which might cause paint issues.
SB-18-17-004 R32019-08-12. Service bulletin. VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER. On some Model X vehicles traveling at highway speeds, the washer fluid spray might not sufficiently cover the driver?s lower windshield.
SB-19-39-001 R22019-07-08. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN. Older versions of the Model S and Model X LH front drive unit clevis mount contain a bushing that allows the front drive unit to move side-to-side more than expected during hard accelerations, resulting in excessive vibrations coming from the front drive unit during hard acceleration. This is exclusively an NVH issue and does not otherwise affect steering functionality, braking, or acceleration.
SB-19-39-0012019-06-10. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY; EQUIPMENT. During hard acceleration, the driver might notice vibrations coming from the front of some Model S or Model X vehicles.
SB-17-13-005 R32019-06-10. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY; SEATS. On some Model S and Model X front seats, the forward inboard Huck BOM fastener and pivot bushing (nearest to the center console) used on the front lift links may develop an interactive clearance condition, which might result in a rocking motion in the seat. This does not affect performance, but may result in customer dissatisfaction.
SB1917005R12019-05-28. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE. On some Model X vehicles, a pinched electrical wiring harness at the liftgate might create an obstruction alert, causing the power function of the liftgate not to operate. The liftgate can still be manually opened and closed.
SB1913001R12019-05-28. Service bulletin. SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY; STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR. On some Model X vehicles equipped with 2nd row fold-flat bench seats, the RH and/or LH seat backs might interfere with the rear door panel when the door is closed and cause NVH issues.
SB-19-30-0012019-03-11. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE. The rear node of some Model S and Model X vehicles might have damage in the forward mounting location of the rear subframe, resulting in noise, vibration, or harshness coming from that location.
SB-18-15-0082019-02-25. Service bulletin. VISIBILITY; EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY. Certain Model X vehicles were manufactured with triple camera windshield brackets that were not properly secured to the windshield. The bracket may look uneven and/or move when manipulated. However, there is no effect on Autopilot functionality or rear view mirror stability. Perform the following procedure to resecure the triple camera windshield bracket to the windshield.
SB-18-17-004 R22019-02-25. Service bulletin. VISIBILITY. On some Model X vehicles traveling at highway speeds, the washer fluid spray might not sufficiently cover the driver's lower windshield.
SB-17-13-005 R22019-02-19. Service bulletin. SEATS. On some Model S and Model X front seats, the forward inboard Huck BOM fastener and pivot bushing (nearest to the center console) used on the front lift links may develop an interactive clearance condition, which might result in a rocking motion in the seat. This does not affect performance, but may result in customer dissatisfaction.
SB-19-15-0012019-02-19. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY; EQUIPMENT; VISIBILITY. On some Mode X vehicles, a rattle might originate from the sun visors when connected to the rearview mirror due to the design of the magnetic clip.
SB-18-11-004 R22018-12-10. Service bulletin. LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES. On some Model X vehicles, water might enter the door latches or cinching actuators on the rear doors, which can damage certain components integral to automated door latching operation. If a component fails, manual door latching operation is not affected. Certain components have been redesigned to allow water to drain better and protect them from water damage.
SB-18-11-004 R12018-12-10. Service bulletin. LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES. On some Model X vehicles, water might enter the door latches or cinching actuators on the rear doors, which can damage certain components integral to automated door latching operation. If a component fails, manual door latching operation is not affected. Certain components have been redesigned to allow water to drain better and protect them from water damage.
SB-18-11-0072018-12-10. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE. Certain Model X vehicles are equipped with rear door outer belt seals that could allow water to enter the rear door, potentially damaging components integral to automated door latching operation.

SB-18-15-0062018-10-15. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. On some Model X vehicles, incorrect routing of the intrusion sensor wires might result in electrical interference between the intrusion sensor and the intrusion sensor electrical control unit (ECU). The electrical interference causes the car alarm to activate, even if the vehicle is not being intruded.
SB-16-90-003 R32018-08-06. Service bulletin. TRAILER HITCHES. Some customers have a due bill for an Accessories Hitch. The Accessories Hitch has been discontinued. In place of the Accessories Hitch, these customers are to receive the Hitch Package, which can be used to attach hitch accessories. These customers also have the option to upgrade to the Full Tow Package at a special price.
