## What is wrong

Tesla Motors, Inc. \(Tesla\) is recalling certain model year 2016 Model X vehicles manufactured September 29, 2015, to March 30, 2016.  In the affected vehicles, the third row seat back may move forward under load such as in a frontal collision.  As such, the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 207, "Seating Systems."


## What can happen

If the third row seat does not remain in its adjusted position, there may be an increased risk of injury to an occupant in the event of a crash.


## The remedy

Tesla will notify owners, and dealers will replace all affected third row seats, free of charge.  The recall began on April 20, 2016.  Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1\-844\-248\-3752 or by email at ServiceHelpNA@teslamotors.com.  Tesla's number for this recall is SB\-16\-13\-003
