## What is wrong

Tesla, Inc. \(Tesla\) is recalling certain 2021\-2025 Model S and Model X vehicles.  The driver's air bag could tear during deployment.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 212, "Windshield Mounting."


## What can happen

A torn air bag may not adequately protect an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Tesla service will replace the air bag assembly, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed February 21, 2025.  Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1\-877\-798\-3752.  Tesla's number for this recall is SB\-24\-20\-001.
