## What is wrong

Tesla, Inc. \(Tesla\) is recalling certain 2014\-2021 Model S vehicles.  The front trunk latch assembly may be misaligned, preventing the secondary hood latch from engaging.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 113, "Hood Latch System."


## What can happen

If the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could open unexpectedly, obstructing the driver's view and increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Tesla Service will inspect and reposition the latch assembly as necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed February 18, 2022.  Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1\-877\-798\-3752.  Tesla's number for this recall is SB\-21\-11\-003.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
